The meaning of [A-Z], on a gnu system, depends on the locale used. The
letters between [A-Z] depend on the sorting order defined in the
locale, and I guess that's defined by language in unicode somehow; but
I don't know how much there is a decision by Unicode on that. For
example, in Catalan we have that [A-Z] array defined as
[aAbBcCdDeE...]. And imagine: [A-Z] doesn't include [a]. :)

Using "LANG=C" before evaluating any [A-Z] expression should give you
the usual C meaning of only capitals.
