Everything can happen, probably a segmentation fault. There are no checks on
the validity of the string, *exactly* as there weren't before.

If the string is constructed by locale::locale(const char*) this is not 
really an issue,
but, as you said before, if it's passed by the user it can be, if we 
want: someone told
me that this area is basically QoI, since the standard prescribes 
nothing about
all of it.

So...

We should decide together which checks to add, how much expensive and 
what to do
if they are not ok. Perhaps throw an exception? Which one?

Ciao, Paolo.
