useful? don't say that.

I have heard same word from who spreads broken iconv(3) usage,
(such as non-portable //TRANSLIT features that annoying pkgsrc peoples).
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/2006/04/03/0000.html

if you really believe it is useful,  write defect report and post
JTC1/SC2/WG14 or austin-group
before implementing such non-portable *broken* stuff.

most of application in the world doesn't require multi-locale stuff.
so that the struct _locale __C_locale in libc is much more wasteful.
