And if to_char throws an elog?

Another objection is that (if my experience with libc's
timezone-dependent code is any guide) changing the locale that much
is likely to be *slow*.  libc is designed on the assumption that you
set these things once at application startup, so it precomputes a ton
of stuff whenever you change 'em.
