(Catching up with this thread...)

LC_C_LOCALE is definitely not portable: I've only seen it on macOS and
NetBSD.  It would be a good thing to propose to POSIX, since no other
approach can be retrofitted quite so cromulently...

I tried to make a portable PG_C_LOCALE mechanism like that, but it was
reverted for reasons needing more investigation... see
