Can lc_collate_is_c() be taught to check whether an ICU locale is using
POSIX collation?

There's now another bug in that --no-locale no longer does the same
thing as --locale=C (which is its long-established documented behavior).
How should these various options interact? This all seems not well
thought out from a usability perspective, and I think a proper fix
should involve a bit more serious consideration.
