I even have correct ascii,Rascii,Ftable,RFtable,gweights tables in my last committed variant (but not for various -R). Nope. -n broke them all because it hardcoded to ASCII but sorted in the modified (collated) order.. Back permutation table not helps because of different forms of main (collated) order corresponding to -r -f flags. Via some hacking I even made variant without -R works for -n too, but it not means it will not be broken for any future locale we can have. -- Andrey A.
