- # First we declare the character set. Since it's English, it's easy.
- # The only special character is the apostrophe, so that possessives can
- # be handled. We declare it as a boundary character, so that quoting with
- # single quotes doesn't confuse things. The apostrophe is the only
- # character that gets such treatment.
- #
- # We declare the apostrophe first so that "Jon's" collates before "Jonas".
- # (This is the way ASCII does it).
