The only problem with LC_ALL is that it overrides all of the other LC_*
variables. When looking for locale information for a given category, the
order is:
LC_ALL -> LC_{COLLATE|CTYPE|MESSAGES|TIME|NUMERIC|MONETARY} -> LANG
(glibc adds a bunch of other LC_* variables from a POSIX draft that
never got formalized.)
Setting just LANG= and setting just LC_ALL= have the same ultimate
result: every localization category uses the same locale. The difference
is that setting LC_ALL means you can't turn around and redefine, say,
just LC_TIME to use some other locale's format.
