Absolutely. But IMO it'd be a pity not to be able to test this
important functionality on Posix platforms. So how about replacing
these tests with something that works in a non-en_US locale in a way
that is different from en_US? The functions being tested signal an
error if a locale passed to them is not installed, so it should be
possible to test whether a locale is available before running a test
with it.
WDYT?
