Unless you believe that locales shouldnt specify encoding, and are
unhappy with their implementation (too global).
Also, using them isnt necessarily future-proof. For example you
generally wouldnt want to use the "mb" functions if all your
output was ucs-4 wide characters. (are there any utf-32 locales?)

Taking this argument to its logical conclusion; why care about
those using legacy(non-utf8) encodings...
