(So if we use it in `local` mode, we can get wrong results.)

Looks like we need to set the `LOCALE` environment variable to `'"C"'` (no, not `'C'`, `'"C"'`) to make sort case-sensitive.

This is really easy to fix and test, so going to roll it into v0.3.0.

See #288 for more comments about this astounding issue.
