Indeed for my purposes that's what I'll have to do.
but the strxfrm function uses the current application locale, so I'll have to
call setlocale to set it, call strxfrm, then call setlocale to set it back.
I fear that some implementations might do a lot of work when setlocale is
called loading large data files and might leak memory expecting it to only be
called once at program initialization. That would suck

l10n = localization

arguably i should have said i18n actually.
