/*----------
 * Here is how the locale stuff is handled: LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE
 * are fixed at CREATE DATABASE time, stored in pg_database, and cannot
 * be changed. Thus, the effects of strcoll(), strxfrm(), isupper(),
 * toupper(), etc. are always in the same fixed locale.
 *
 * LC_MESSAGES is settable at run time and will take effect
 * immediately.
 *
 * The other categories, LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, and LC_TIME are also
 * settable at run-time.  However, we don't actually set those locale
 * categories permanently.  This would have bizarre effects like no
 * longer accepting standard floating-point literals in some locales.
 * Instead, we only set these locale categories briefly when needed,
 * cache the required information obtained from localeconv() or
 * strftime(), and then set the locale categories back to "C".
 * The cached information is only used by the formatting functions
 * (to_char, etc.) and the money type.  For the user, this should all be
 * transparent.
 *
 * !!! NOW HEAR THIS !!!
 *
 * We've been bitten repeatedly by this bug, so let's try to keep it in
 * mind in future: on some platforms, the locale functions return pointers
 * to static data that will be overwritten by any later locale function.
 * Thus, for example, the obvious-looking sequence
 *          save = setlocale(category, NULL);
 *          if (!setlocale(category, value))
 *              fail = true;
 *          setlocale(category, save);
 * DOES NOT WORK RELIABLY: on some platforms the second setlocale() call
 * will change the memory save is pointing at.  To do this sort of thing
 * safely, you *must* pstrdup what setlocale returns the first time.
 *
 * The POSIX locale standard is available here:
 *
 *  http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap07.html

 *
 * Before Visual Studio 2012 (msvcr110.dll), Windows setlocale() accepted "C"
 * (but not "c") and strings of the form <Language>[_<Country>][.<CodePage>],
 * case-insensitive.  setlocale() returns the fully-qualified form; for
 * example, setlocale("thaI") returns "Thai_Thailand.874".  Internally,
 * setlocale() and _create_locale() select a "locale identifier"[1] and store
 * it in an undocumented _locale_t field.  From that LCID, we can retrieve the
 * ISO 639 language and the ISO 3166 country.  Character encoding does not
 * matter, because the server and client encodings govern that.
 *
 * Windows Vista introduced the "locale name" concept[2], closely following
 * RFC 4646.  Locale identifiers are now deprecated.  Starting with Visual
 * Studio 2012, setlocale() accepts locale names in addition to the strings it
 * accepted historically.  It does not standardize them; setlocale("Th-tH")
 * returns "Th-tH".  setlocale(category, "") still returns a traditional
 * string.  Furthermore, msvcr110.dll changed the undocumented _locale_t
 * content to carry locale names instead of locale identifiers.
 *
 * MinGW headers declare _create_locale(), but msvcrt.dll lacks that symbol.
 * IsoLocaleName() always fails in a MinGW-built postgres.exe, so only
 * Unix-style values of the lc_messages GUC can elicit localized messages.  In
 * particular, every lc_messages setting that initdb can select automatically
 * will yield only C-locale messages.  XXX This could be fixed by running the
 * fully-qualified locale name through a lookup table.
 *
