• New partly experimental Sys.setLanguage() utility, solving the
main problem of PR#18055.
introduced in R 4.2.0.

I was playing around with the setting of the LANGUAGE variable and am
wondering whether I'm missing something obvious about resetting the

reset the language for warnings/errors once, but not to change it a
second time (or reset it) once it's been set ... ??
