 It looks like it's not possible to disable unicode quotes with `LANG=C`
 (at least on my system, Ubuntu 12.04):

 {{{
 $ env LANG=C ~/bin/ghc-head/bin/ghci
 Prelude GHC.IO.Encoding GHC.Foreign System.IO> let str = "‛’"
 > let enc = localeEncoding
 > (withCString enc str $ \cstr -> do { str' <- peekCString enc cstr;
 return (str == str') })
 True
 }}}
