Indeed, I was already coming up with mechanisms to determine what

I think it would be best if we defined an internal API for plugging in
various kinds of locale

But there's nothing wrong with saying it's slow because your
libc is slow. Compile with this freely available library which has a better
implementation.

Agreed ...
Then you can hook in this
newlocale, the Windows variant, ICU, or plain-old POSIX locale
support for backward compatibility.

The objection is fundamentally that a platform-specific implementation

MacOS X [1] supports this also apparently. And for glibc it appears to
