Hey there,

I've been asked to comment on this, so here goes:
I am firmly against adding a wrapper around something that works,
which requires a certain implementation of the given command and
only works in certain scenarios (e.g. in a certain locale). And
especially when its only purpose is to correct some cosmetic
issues (if you'd even call it an issue).

Feel free to add this to your .zshrc.local file. IMO, this issue
should be marked wont-fix for the reasons I gave earlier. (Unless,
of course, I'm out-voted by a large number of fellow grml-developers.)

Regards, Frank
