25 set without diacritics (ASCII-US or EBCDIC-US or something like that).
26 Even if the "C" locale on a particular system is an extension of the ASCII
27 character set (like on BeOS, where it is UTF-8, or on AmigaOS, where it
28 is ISO-8859-1), the functions in this file recognize only the ASCII
29 characters. More precisely, one of the string arguments must be an ASCII
30 string; the other one can also contain non-ASCII characters (but then
31 the comparison result will be nonzero). */
