New submission from Nick Coghlan:
To get the new PEP 538 tests passing on Mac OS X (see [1,2]), I ended up having
to skip the following test scenarios:
LANG=UTF-8 (behaves like LANG=C, *not* LC_CTYPE=UTF-8)
LANG=POSIX (behaves like a distinct locale is set, not LANG=C)
LC_CTYPE=POSIX (behaves like a distinct locale is set, not LANG=C)
LC_ALL=POSIX (behaves like a distinct locale is set, not LANG=C)
However, I'm not sure whether that should be diagnosed as a pure testing
problem, where we change the test's expectations to match the current
behaviour, or a bug in the PEP 538 implementation, where we should be updating
it to produce the behaviour that the tests were originally expecting.
