I'm setting the global locale by taking the current locale (C) and overriding
the collate and ctype categories with the en_US.UTF-8 locale:
locale::global(locale(locale(),"en_US.UTF-8",locale::collate|locale::ctype))
When I actually view the resulting locale with locale().name() or
setlocale(LC_ALL,0), I see the following:
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8;LC_COLLATE=C;LC_MONETARY=C;LC_MESSAGES=C;LC_PAPER=C;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=C;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C
Note that LC_TIME reports its locale has been overridden and LC_COLLATE does
not.
