Are you sure that non-C locales won’t cause this to sort in orders other than ASCIIbetical (and thus wrongly), particularly if you add Unicode to the mix?

    Um, no. Did I imply that I was?

    I assume that anyone using non-C locales will know they are and know that they will have to take special steps to get sorts to operate correctly. This assumption is based upon the fact that many uses of GRT (including yours elsewhere in the thread), and as far as I can tell from looking, many of the various sorting modules on CPAN will be similarly affected.
