FYI: in practice I patch all regex family in FreeBSD tree to use collation
sequence data from locale for [a-z]-type national ranges. Using Unicode
f.e. not help here, because letters not sorted alphabetically (f.e.
Russian YO letter is out of order) and [a-z]-type ranges assume alphabet
order in most cases.
