The locale(1) man page should say why it puts quotes around some of the values.

$ locale
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="C" ...

Still there even after
$ eval export `locale|sed s/=.*/=C/` && locale

P.S., even though the man page refers to setlocale(3), some mention
should be made at to what one needs to do to 'set the locale' in a
shell script. Perhaps just changing some environment variables.

Also the setlocale(3) man page could mention this too.

And somewhere mention why locale "C" is called "C".

There is no reason for that, so we can't put that in the man page.

And please stop with such silly bug reports.
