Comment:
Locale-based conversion will cause too much confusion, because C functions
may take/return UTF-8 strings while your locale is something like
ja_JP.eucJP. I strongly prefer to make withCString obsolete and introduce
"withCString' :: Encoding -> String -> (CString -> IO a) -> IO a" (or such
like) where data Encoding = UTF_8 | UTF_16 | ISO_8859_1 | ...
