That was the goal, in spirit.
But to clarify: it's not guaranteed that the built-in C.UTF-8 is always
the same as the libc UTF-8, because different implementations do
different things. For instance, I saw significant differences on MacOS.

I'm fine with that, see v25-0004 in the reply to your other mail.
The version only tracks sort order, and all of the builtin locales sort
based on memcmp(). But it's possible there are bugs in the
optimizations around memcmp() (e.g. abbreviated keys, or some future
optimization).
