No, because we are using strcmp to implement the lexicographic order
used when sorting strings. That function uses the integer character
codes for the comparison.
Is that the behaviour users want?
I imagine that French users would expect an e-acute to appear near the
unaccented e and Germans would like their sharp-S to appear near the
normal S. And presumably the Spanish like their N-with-squiggle to be
near the naked N.
