Just as an FYI/curiosity, I converted my frustrations with localeconv() into a request[1] that POSIX consider standardising one of the interfaces that doesn't suck, and the reaction seems so far positive. Of course that doesn't really have any actionable consequences on any relevant time frame, even if eventually successful, and we can already use the saner interfaces on the systems most of us really care about, but still... it's nice to think that the pessimistic fallback code (really only used by Solaris and maybe AIX) could eventually be redundant if it goes somewhere...
