Does it work to use a locale with encoding A for LC_CTYPE and a locale
with encoding B for LC_MESSAGES (and others)? Is there a risk of
mojibake? Or do we expect that the POSIX locale speaks ASCII, and so
it should work for use UTF-8 for LC_CTYPE since UTF-8 is able to
decode messages encoded ASCII?
