That would work. Though it does tie up the test with an
implementation-detail. Still, probably better than no regression test at
all.
The test will error out if the data for the chosen locale isn’t actually
present on the system. I chose the «en_US» locale in the hopes that this
will frequently be installed. I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether
that is acceptable.

Added.

That’s a good idea, I’ll look into it if I have some time by the end of
the week.
