Thanks a lot for that reference I wonder how I failed at finding it, I read
twice the locale definition in opengroup documents.

I have found yet proof in the code, but from my testings (using nl_langinfo=
())

I can see that the @modifier is properly supported.

I have 2 proposal then:
1/ Keep the current version and add aliases with "@" for the one in variants
2/ Rename all the variants we have now into the POSIX version with "@"

What do you think?

Best regards,
Bapt
