Ok, it seems that we are walking around in circles here.

Windows has it. Just set system locale to one thing (code page, to/from 
unicode), and user locale to something else (collation).
Unix has it (LC_COLLATION and LC_CTYPE).
Why shouldn't wine?

Even if you are right that it leads to insanity (and I do understand why 
you say that, at least for the codepage and collation collision. If 
there are any other cases of insanity, do tell), aren't we supposed to 
be bug-compatible with Windows?
