If you are going to look at the env yourself, rather than using the
relevant libraries, you must look at more than just LC_CTYPE.
The progression is:
LC_ALL overrides LC_CTYPE overrides LANG
So, first check LC_ALL; if that is not set then check LC_CTYPE; if
that is also not set check LANG; if that is not set the locale is C.
That should match the behavior of POSIX compliant libraries.
