Above should be in German, no?! It is, at least, for me.
I am for special-casing C.UTF-8 as it's aimed to serve the same
purpose as C, but with a richer characterset. Otherwise, hunting down
every single case of LC_ALL and adding LANGUAGE to it, is just a lot
of unnecessary (albeit pedantically correct) work.
