I agree with this in context of libc++, but what if some other project

In theory I could understand the argument, somehwat, but this is
exceedingly rare in real world code, as far as I've seen.
I think that the perfect solution would be for libc++ to check whether
`_create_locale` is really available during configuration. However, you
pointed out that getting this done in libc++ would be troublesome.
In another reply I suggested to expose `_create_locale` etc. for
msvcrt.dll with _WIN32_WINNT defined to 0x0601 (Vista) or higher; this
will expose them when other `_locale_t` functions are also exposed (they
are available in msvcrt.dll since Vista).
Exposing it only from Vista, which shouldn't require any changes to the
libc++ build, sounds tolerable to me.
