Describes the basic locale object, including nested
classes id, facet, and the reference-counted implementation object,
class _Impl.
</p><div class="section" title="Requirements"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="locales.locale.req"/>Requirements</h4></div></div></div><p>
Class locale is non-templatized and has two distinct types nested
inside of it:
</p><div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote"><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>
class facet
22.1.1.1.2 Class locale::facet
</em></span>
</p></blockquote></div><p>
Facets actually implement locale functionality. For instance, a facet
called numpunct is the data object that can be used to query for the
thousands separator in the locale.
</p><p>
Literally, a facet is strictly defined:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist"><li class="listitem"><p>
Containing the following public data member:
</p><p>
<code class="code">static locale::id id;</code>
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Derived from another facet:
</p><p>
<code class="code">class gnu_codecvt: public std::ctype<user-defined-type></code>
</p></li></ul></div><p>
Of interest in this class are the memory management options explicitly
specified as an argument to facet's constructor. Each constructor of a
facet class takes a std::size_t __refs argument: if __refs == 0, the
facet is deleted when the locale containing it is destroyed. If __refs
== 1, the facet is not destroyed, even when it is no longer
referenced.
</p><div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote"><p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>
class id
22.1.1.1.3 - Class locale::id
</em></span>
</p></blockquote></div><p>
Provides an index for looking up specific facets.
</p></div><div class="section" title="Design"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="locales.locale.design"/>Design</h4></div></div></div><p>
The major design challenge is fitting an object-orientated and
non-global locale design on top of POSIX and other relevant standards,
which include the Single Unix (nee X/Open.)
</p><p>
Because C and earlier versions of POSIX fall down so completely,
portability is an issue.

From Josuttis, p. 697-698, which says, that "there is only *one*
relation (of the C++ locale mechanism) to the C locale mechanism: the
global C locale is modified if a named C++ locale object is set as the
global locale" (emphasis Paolo), that is:
</p><pre class="programlisting">std::locale::global(std::locale(""));</pre><p>affects the C functions as if the following call was made:</p><pre class="programlisting">std::setlocale(LC_ALL, "");</pre><p>
On the other hand, there is *no* vice versa, that is, calling
setlocale has *no* whatsoever on the C++ locale mechanism, in
particular on the working of locale(""), which constructs the locale
object from the environment of the running program, that is, in
practice, the set of LC_ALL, LANG, etc. variable of the shell.

Locale initialization: at what point does _S_classic, _S_global

has already taken place?

Document how named locales error check when filling data
members. I.e., a fr_FR locale that doesn't have
numpunct::truename(): does it use "true"? Or is it a blank
string? What's the convention?
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
Explain how locale aliasing happens. When does "de_DE" use "de"
information? What is the rule for locales composed of just an
ISO language code (say, "de") and locales with both an ISO
language code and ISO country code (say, "de_DE").
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
What should non-required facet instantiations do? If the
