That's fair enough, but the question is should they be taken as
equivalent for string-comparison purposes?  (English has plenty of
cases where different letter combinations sound alike, but we don't
consider them equal because of that.  That may not be a good analogy
though.  Also, if there are cases in other locales where strcoll
considers non-identical strings equal, the reasoning for it might be
quite different.)
