Description
Execution time of many commands (like `sort`) depend on locale variables (for example, `LC_CTYPE`). To guarantee consistent evaluation results even across different users on the same machine (!) we need to make sure that `LC_CTYPE` and all other locale variables are equal.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing how PaSh launches and evaluates commands, then identify where locale variables are inherited or set. Done means evaluation results are consistent when users on the same machine have different locale settings, with coverage for commands such as sort.
