"BSD sort" as an idea will be a good project indeed, but "BSD sort" implementation we currently have at hand is totally misleading and should be rewritten from the scratch, I realize it when long time ago I try to localize it for single byte locales. The next nice idea in that area will be updating our regexp engine to most recent public code, both for speed and minor compatibility reasons, as des_at_ mentions. I don't have an opinion for BSD diff. -- http://ache.pp.ru/Received on Wed Jun 18 2008 - 03:59:21 UTC
