I used that stuff for a while now, and I think everything worked as
expected.

If I remember correctly, I saw just one tiny inconsistency: with the new
ls-lisp -v switch the sorting position of a backup file named foo~ was
different from ls -v when also numbered backup files foo~n~ of the same
file existed.  Dunno if this is relevant, it's a corner case.

For string collation and locales, I must say that I'm no expert at that
field and don't really know what tests could be useful for testing.  I
can only say that everything seems to be ok with the locales I am using.

Let me know when you think that I could nonetheless be of any help
there.


Thanks both of you again for your work,

Michael.
