I don't see why we would need these. Both only specify the same behaviour
they would have if not present at all. I.e. they wouldn't make any
difference whatsoever. LANG, if not set, defaults to "C", AFAIK, and same
for LANGUAGE. If at all, it would be a good idea to set LC_COLLATE to "C",
lest users be badly surprised by 'grep' and other regex tools if they "set
LANG=de" and then use pattern like [a-z].
