Presuming that Darwin still has a configurable locale like any other
Unix, is the "standard" really anything other than a "default"?
Well, as I quoted in my post to Lucian from the url I posted before:
"All BSD system functions expect their string parameters to be in
UTF-8 encoding and nothing else."
That doesn't seem like a default to me, more like a requirement, but
if I were certain, I would have posted a patch instead of an inquiry.
