I'm not disagreeing. (I actually thought `set-locale-environment' was
interactive, but I see it isn't.)

The trouble with `language' environments is that they have little to
do with the language per se. If you're not going by system defaults
(locales), I think you want to provide orthogonal customization of
language, codeset, and other features. If you lump them all together,
you'll have probably four for each Western European language: latin-1,
latin-9, windows-1252 and utf-8. Then multiply by two or three for
the possible input methods. Then the calendar is different in
territories with the same language...
