appending _z_ to zlocale names is ugly and defeat the original purpose of
zlocale.
In your purposal, it can be argued that all names including smoutput and
fexist also need _z_
I think a better way to fix is to put script into j locale and refer it as
script_j_
or rename it as new name jscript so it will have a slightly less chance of
conflict.
