I understand what you're saying, but it's not really in violation of that principle. bash is still doing everything case-sensitively, and everything besides ranges works as expected. The only principle it's violating is that the character encoding is ordered ABC...abc, like it is in ASCII. This is tempting to believe, but is obviously a false principle as evidenced by this bug, and people should be educated about that.
