That'd go against the Posix semantics of these variables, so we
shouldn't do that, because it might not be what is expected by users
who set both LANG and other LC_* variables.

As I wrote previously, I don't really understand the exact problem we
are asked to solve here.  I don't think we should be discussing
solutions before we understand the actual problem.  Right now, I
believe that Emacs already provides features to resolve any such
problems.
