Yes, for the record (as I know you know I know you know this), if we
ever granted the wish the comment expressed, we do not have to use
test_i18ngrep but instead can use grep, following the reasoning in
the comment "Even when running under poison locale, we must have
HEAD:config in the output".

It is unfortunate that poison locale is not that smart.  If it were,
we can lose a lot of test_i18ngrep, not only from here.
