So, I'm not the Plan 9 expert by any means, but according to the man page
for pcc:
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/1/pcc
It says the "locale manipulation functions are minimal". We don't really
care about MANIPULATING the locale. What we really do is call at the
beginning of each program:
setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
And we assume a few places that the various is* functions DTRT, but we aren't
consistent with that. We also assume nl_langinfo() returns the character set.
It would seem to me that if setlocale() was a no-op and nl_langinfo always
returned "UTF-8" for the charset, that's all you'd really need. Does APE
not support that?
