Returns a QLocale object initialized to the "C" locale.
+ This locale is based on en_US but with various quirks of its own, such as
+ simplified number formatting and its own date formatting. It implements the
+ POSIX standards that describe the behavior of standard library functions of
+ the "C" programming language.
+
+ Among other things, this means its collation order is based on the ASCII
+ values of letters, so that (for case-sensitive sorting) all upper-case
+ letters sort before any lower-case one (rather than each letter's upper- and
+ lower-case forms sorting adjacent to one another, before the next letter's
+ two forms).
