while LC_COLLATE & friends on Linux are runtime-configurable (which leads to
extra complexity), perhaps on Plan 9 it would be OK to just link in the right
libraries?
let /lib/ contain libraries with subroutines for `generic' locale (the current
implementation)
let /lib/i18n/en_GB/lib/ contain libraries with subroutines tailored for
`en_GB' locale
let /lib/i18n/pl_PL/lib/ contain libraries with subroutines tailored for
`pl_PL' locale
before building any program, Steve would
bind -b /lib/i18n/en_GB/lib/ /lib/
and I would
bind -b /lib/i18n/pl_PL/lib/ /lib/
