IMHO this should be moved into some config/os/ctype_noninline.h inline or something
like that, because how composite setlocale strings look like is really
OS specific. The question is whether category names > LC_ALL should
be added to the composite too, but as locale::global calls setlocale(LC_ALL, that_name)
I think it should.
