IIUC the adverb acollect__C is to be executed inside the locale C, but
the resulting verb
'M' acollect__C
does not belong to C but to the current locale that executing this
sentence,
2 'M' acollect__C 5
in other words, that verb is defined as if in the current locale but
with same textual explicit definition given by 'M' acollect_C
so that unless C is in the search path of current locale, the internal
state of C can not be access.
My conjecture might be wrong, of course. ;-)
