Yes, the two *only* cases where strcoll() can't be used are:
- sorting of *byte values* (that is sorting a thing that is not text)
- if you need to differentiate upper and lower cases (and here glib should
  provide a case sensitive version of strcoll(); that is a function that
  would be to strcoll() what strcmp() is to strcasecmp().
  Too bad POSIX provides a localized version of strcasecmp() and not of
  strcmp() :-( )
