--- Comment #222 from RJVB <rjvber...@gmail.com> ---
Doesn't Qt have to be configured to use ICU, or is that only on non-linux/unix
platforms (Mac included)?

ICU uses hardcoded locale definitions?

FWIW, the specialty library approach I mentioned could of course provide
suitably amended forks of the ICU and/or libc/POSIX locale functions, which
would override those in ICU and/or libc. Doing this carefully enough it should
be possible to avoid risk of ODR/ABI issues - I suppose. Heck, the new
behaviour could even be conditional on something like an env. variable that
"deviant" users like us would have to set. I agree that ICU nor POSIX are
likely to change their implementations without a sufficient body of evidence
that an alternative implementation is backwards compatible in ABI, API *and*
behavioural terms. With enough evidence of demand for an optional different
behaviour, however, they could not reject a merge request as introducing
unjustified code complexification...
