Why was the default behavior changed? Why not let Windows _users_
choose to sort in this new way? If, after several years of that,
users are clamouring for the default behavior to change, emacs-devel
can discuss that possibility and perhaps change to using
`string-collate-lessp' by default.
It should be:
If you want the new, locale-dependent sorting, customize the new
option `ls-lisp-use-string-collate' to a non-nil value.
