hmm, see you PG sources -- pg_locale.c file?
I mean that is not good lavish the sources with same code. If this is
really needful will better add your idea into this file and use
PGLC_current() instead add to sources again new setlocale() call.
The current backend (unfortunately) disable change locales on the fly
-- this means your function will returns always same result :-)
IMHO more nice will some function 'environment()' returns *all* backend
environment values (locales, debug mode ... etc) or command "SHOW LOCALE"
or something like this.
