However, now that I think of it, globbing order is already going to be altered by LC_COLLATE, so scripts that rely on it are out of luck in the first place. Anyone care to dispute the conclusion that either NUMERIC_GLOB_SORT should not be reset by emulate, or else LC_COLLATE should not be used in glob sorting?
