Docs says system locale and LC_CTYPE do the same thing. My experience 
says system locale and LC_CTYPE do the same thing. You yourself says 
that system locale affects the ANSI code page, and that's what LC_CTYPE 
does. I see no reason for further discussions myself. If Alexandre says 
otherwise, I'll be glad to answer any specific concerns anyone has.

That's not how I see it. I have spent quite enough time on this 
discussion to "write tests".

I don't see any reason to revert the patch merely because you don't like 
it. If you are so sure that the docs are all wrong, show us where.
