e.g.

@findex setlocale AT r{, standard and current locales supported}
The function @code{setlocale} now supports the following categories in
environment variables: @code{LC_CTYPE}, @code{LC_COLLATE},
@code{LC_NUMERIC}, @code{LC_MONETARY}, @code{LC_TIME}, as well as
@code{LC_ALL}, and also @code{LANG}.  POSIX @code{LC_MESSAGES} are not
supported.  Due to limitations of the @file{country.sys} driver only
the current user locale @code{""} or its name, and @code{"C"} (aka
@code{"POSIX"}) locales are supported.
Modifies the character classes used by functions defined in headers
@file{ctype.h} and @file{regex.h}, returns appropriate values from
@code{strcoll} and @code{localeconv} functions, changes the decimal
character used by functions for converting numeric strings from input
and to output, and function @code{strftime} uses the appropriate NLS
formats for @code{"%x"} and @code{"%X"} conversions.
