Yes.

strcasecmp() is also locale-dependent.  Internally, we only ever care
about ignoring case in [A-Za-z] and any locale should be fine for that.
But it might be cleaner to have a dedicated _al_stricmp_ascii() and use
that, rather than having potentially different behaviour depending on
whether we're using strcasecmp [in some locale], our "emulation" of
stricmp [locale independent], stricmp [who knows?].
