Use of setlocale

[Roger Leigh]

I noticed that there's quite a mix of code using stp_setlocale and
plain setlocale.  Should we have a policy of using stp_setlocale
everywhere unless strictly needed when setting a specific locale facet
such as LC_NUMERIC?

stp_init is using plain setlocale.  genppd uses this, but should we
additionally call stp_setlocale to ensure LC_CTYPE and LC_NUMERIC are
set to C?


Regards,
Roger

I don't think stp_init should be calling setlocale at all - libraries
have no place changing the current locale settings.
