+"""C library locale-based collation.
+
+This collation backend uses the system's C library to sort strings. It
+is fast and almost always available, but may sort strings outside of
+the user's native locale incorrectly or confusingly (for example,
+en_US tends to ignore hiragana characters; ja_JP does not case-fold
+Latin characters).
+
+Since the C library only supports one locale active at a time per
+process, instantiating a Collator from this module will affect the
+locale of all previous collators and anything else using the system
+locale information.
+
+Use this collation backend if...
+ - You are on a system without ICU or UCA datafiles for the locale,
+   and DUCET results are not acceptable.
+
+Avoid this backend if...
+ - ICU or UCA support is available for the current locale.
+ - You are sorting strings from alphabets outside the primary locale.
+ - You need to support collating multiple locales at once.
