The SHIFT_JIS encoding has the same problem, i.e. it is not ASCII
compatible either.
Bruno Haible> The way glibc implements locales, such a locale cannot be ISO C99
compliant.

And the ja_JP.SJIS loclae is not in glibc/localedata/SUPPORTED
either.
→ both ja_JP.SJIS *and* ja_JP.SHIFT_JISX0213 are not ISO C99
compliant and should be avoided.
