Hi!

Is it 'really correct', that after setting 'LANG=de' or 'LC_COLLATE=de'
ranges of characters will no more be differentiate between uppercase
and lowecase ? So 'rm [A-Z]' will remove not only 'FOO' but 'bar' too!

Explicitely writing all the letters works! 
'rm [ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ]*' removes 'FOO' leaves 'bar' alone.

Is this a bug ?  Or a feature I've not been warned of by the manuals.

PS.: I'm using zsh-3.0.5 on Solaris 2.4 compiled by gcc-2.7.2
     (soon to be zsh 3.1.4 on Solaris 2.6)
