| Tollef, could you clarify what you meant to do?

Sure, if you people could clarify exactly what you mean by «in a
locale».

For me, that I am «in a locale».  Like, «Norwegian locale» means that
`locale' outputs something like 

tfheen@arabella ~ > locale
LANG=no_NO
LC_CTYPE="no_NO"
LC_NUMERIC="no_NO"
LC_TIME="no_NO"
[snip]

When I'm not in a locale, that is in the C locale or POSIX locale that
means that the `locale' command outputs something like:

tfheen@arabella ~ > locale
LANG=POSIX
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
[snip]

This has _nothing_ to do with which characters I am able to input.  I
am able to input ISO-8859-1 no matter which locale I am in.
