For concreteness, you will find attached a *very* rough and redundant

if this is allowed by the standard and if less costly solutions are
worthy (for instance calling the underlying strcoll more than one time
for each hunk).

Sigh :(

As written, this cannot possibly be correct: if one string happens to have
the chosen char (e.g., '$') in exactly the same place where the other had
'\0' before the preprocessing they end up comparing wrongly equal...

Double :(
