That introduces all the complexity of using another language interpreter,
one I've chosen not to write my program in. I don't much fancy working
round a gotcha by importing another series of gotchas.
Fundamentally, it seems lik

I believe this is consistent with other programs which call setlocale,
notably Perl and B
GUILE_INSTALL_LOCALE=1 breaks some of the robustness of non-locale-using
programs, marring their stderr output if the environment's locale settings
are faulty.
Suppose you have a program written in Guile Scheme that doesn't use any
locale facilities. To be portable to the GUILE_INSTALL_LOCALE=1 s
