Because that's wrong. es_VE for ctype alone won't make a difference,
but BSF isn't the same as Euro, is it? (hah) Date formats, etc., are
different. And dictionary files (e.g., spellings for common cities)
are also different.
The way you specify locales, ll_CC.CHARTYPE, where ll is language and
CC is country-code, is unfortunate because it makes unnecesary
duplication for fields where it shouldn't make a difference, like
ctype, but that's just the way it is
