/*----------
 * Here is how the locale stuff is handled: LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE
 * are fixed by initdb, stored in pg_control, 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 the locales briefly when needed, cache the
 * required information obtained from localeconv(), and set them back.
 * 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.  (Actually, LC_TIME doesn't do anything at all right
 * now.)
 *
 * !!! 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.
