|It is good that the default behavior of Ruby is to stick to the "C" locale (as in C programs). But Ruby should allow to manipulate locales when programs are correctly written (and need it).

This one is too terse for a bug report.  What was the problem you've
met, and what was your workaround?  What did you expect from Ruby on
locales?

If you don't express your definition of "a more rubish-way to deal
with locales", I will reject this issue as a bug, or at least move
this to "feature" request.
