Hmm, that's preceise, but I don't think an average user necessarily 
knows what the C locale is. I think I'll go with:

Multiple files within an include directory are processed in filename 
order. The filenames are ordered by C locale rules, ie. numbers before 
letters, and uppercase letters before lowercase ones.
