They are replaced by the locale specific string and treated just
as if the were "..." strings after substitution.
If you want to have an error function, that can be called while
different locales are in effect, then
function error_exit
{
eval printf '$"..."' "$@"
}
will delay the evaluation until the function is called. However,
ksh -D will not add this string to the dictionary.
