Hmm... There's no mention of LANG in setlocal.txh. Should there be?

This is a really good explanantion about the format of those
variables. I propose to add this to setlocal.txh too, with one
change. Why putting the description of how @code{"@var{ll}_ AT var{CC}"}
is built in a footnote? I think it should be in the text with all the
rest.


Right,
