Does that mean you do suggest that set-locale-environment calls
locale-info?  Or do you suggest something different?

Anyway, for all the other locales, the current code already works, and
works well.  So we will be risking breakage while fixing one locale
that on one particular OS works less well.

But like I said: feel free to submit a patch that doesn't potentially
destroy everything we have in that setup.  If the patch is safe
enough, I see no reason not to accept it.
