The LC_ALL and LANG environment values are just a single name. That was someone's invention during that call this was the intent and I agree it would be nonsensical to do it. We've even argued at other times it's non-sensical for setlocale() to require it to begin with. The primary reason this makes sense is it simplifies library routines that modify aspects of a locale but then are expected to reset them to the original LC_ALL value. Without a means to query the object for this name a separate parameter to the function is required to specify that value, since the function has no way of knowing a previous name returned after a change is the same as that LC_ALL name, nor that LC_ALL in the environment hasn't been modified.
