I guess your right in that respect, it is simpler and easier to explain.

OK to commit from my end.

I'd post to libc-alpha and look for one more person to OK this change and then
I'd consider it consensus to remove the non-ASCII alias.

Bonus if someone already gave consent in the original discussion, in which case
I think we should fix it and move forward.
