Ah, fgetc/fputc are specified in the standard as "byte oriented"
rather than character-oriented, so are probably locale-independent
for binary I/O. OTOH, the wide variants are for wide character I/O
and may require conversion between the narrow and wide forms which
might well need to involve the locale. I thought I spotted this
reading the standard last night, but I can't find the text this
morning.
