There is no problem.  Even the current behavior is 100% correct.  If
somebody wants to the C locale meaning of range expressions than make
damned sure you use the C locale.  The arrogance of Unix users
declaring their way of sorting to be the only true one is unbearable.
Everybody except those used to the pre-i18n era Unix tools expects
collation the way it is done now.  Get used to it.
