Making such tests is not easy because they depend on the system locale.
Using only latin characters make it work on all systems but with latin
only also the default implemenation works and renders the test useless.
Using non-latin characters might break because the locale of the test
system isn't known. Maybe testing the locale in the tests and abort with
a warning but with no error if the test is run on a non
8859-1/utf-8/cp1250 system might be a way to go.
