# Background: the langinfo() (in C known as nl_langinfo()) interface
-# is supposed a to be a portable way to fetch various language dependent
-# constants like "the first day of the week" or "the decimal separator".
-# Give a portable (numeric) constant, get back a language-specific string.
-# That's a comforting fantasy. Now tune in for blunt reality:
-# vendors seem to have implemented for those constants whatever they
-# felt like defining. The UNIX standard says that one should have
-# the RADIXCHAR constant for the decimal separator. Not so for many
-# Linux and BSD implementations. One should have the CODESET constant
-# for returning the current codeset (say, ISO 8859-1). Not so.
