Having to write a function to query all locales

I don't think it is all that trivial.
I disagree. It is not a serious undertaking, and it is trivial. It
took me 6-8 minutes and 3 lines. Here:
require'keyfiles'
save =: (<@:[ keycreate) (3!:1@:(5!:1)@:] keywrite ,)"0 ;@:((]
, '_' , [ , '_'"_) L: 0 verb : '<nl__y $~0'"0)@:conl bind ''
load =: < (] 4 : ('(x) =: y 5!:0';'1') :: 0:&>
(3!:2&.>)@:keyread"1@:,.) keydir
f =: jpath'~temp\X.jkf'
FNAF_floop_ =: 'my original value'
save f
FNAF_floop_ =: 'restore my value!'
load f
1 1 1 1 1 ...
FNAF_floop_
my original value
that is why it still has yet to be done...
It has yet to be done because that's not how we do it in J. That's
how you do it in APL. In J, we use script files.
If you want, we can discuss the relative merits of the two approaches.
