3.11 looks for a default text table with a name that matches the system's 
locale name. If a system hasn't been configured for a particular locale, or, 
perhaps, if brltty is invoked early, it'll assume the default locale (named C) 
and look for that text table. The C locale only defines the ASCII characters, 
although even they aren't standard in braille. We should probably handle this 
in a way that doesn't look like an error. One way would be to create a C text 
table, but, then, whose representation of the numbers and punctuation would we 
put in it. Any ideas anyone?
