Perhaps someone from the documentation project could take care of
documenting that?  A good start would be the setlocale(3) manpage
=66rom Solaris 9, when it talks about composite locale for LC_ALL,
but not enough:

http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Dsetlocale&manpath=3DSunOS%205.9

To get an idea of what the composite LC_ALL locale is, compile and
run the following program:

: #include <locale.h>
: #include <stdio.h>
:=20
: int
: main(void)
: {
:=20
: 	setlocale(LC_ALL, "C"); /* redundant */
: 	setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "en_US.ISO8859-1");
: 	printf("%s\n", setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL));
: 	return (0);
: }


Cheers,
