Internationalisation, setlocale(

[Bob Stout]

  Perhaps this is why ANSI uses the category as the first argument to  
setlocale(). In my implementation, you could simulate a Quebec locale by  
calling setlocale(LC_ALL, "USA"); setlocale(LC_TIME, "FRANCE");. Once set this  
way, retrieving the locale using localeconv() would  fetch a locale that  
looked like American English, but with the week days and months, etc. in  
French. (Yeah, I know that Quebec is more complicated than that - I merely  
used it as an example. I also support non-integer (second-specified) time  
zones, and other oddball stuff folks requested from various parts of the  
world.)
