  | Niall Walsh <linux at esatclear.ie> incoherently babbled:

  |  >   LANGUAGE  en_IE at euro

  |  >   LANG      en_IE at euro
  |  >   CHARSET   iso8859-15
  |  >[ ... ]
  |  > Any comments?  [ ... ]
  | 
  | [ ... ] why not check if en_IE.UTF-8 is available instead
  | of en_IE at euro?

 my thoughts exactly.  a downside may be the few utilities whose
 UCS(/Unicode)/UTF-8 support is still flakely; e.g., the infamous
 grep(1) performance problem (for which, AFAICR, a patch exists).

cheers!
