bug#23677: sort --debug not ignoring punctuation when sort does

    They are not ignored, just considered only secondary, if the first
    order characters didn't provide an ordering.

Ok.  One would have no clue of that, either, from the --debug output.

sort obviously knows the exact rules defined by the locale, or it
couldn't do its job.  How about a way to dump the rules in some
human-readable way?  (In sort or another utility or a separate program
or whatever.)  Similar to how James Youngman found a way to write out
regex definitions in Texinfo ... just a wish ... -karl
