/And/ choosing a locale shouldn't mean changing a process-global state.
Sometimes you want to perform something locale-depending in locale A,
followed by doing it in locale B. Switching locales today takes time and has
the same problems as global variables (unless there is another interface I
am not aware of).

But I suspect that is already a well-known problem.
