This fragment will cause bad_cast to be thrown if getloc() doesn't
contain the correct codecvt, so it seems that the current behaviour is
required by the standard.
... but now it occurs to me: Pétur, what about providing a generic codecvt
facet similar to the specialization for <char, char, mbstate_t>, that
is, doing
almost nothing but with do_always_noconv() returning true?
Would that be legal? Perhaps this is the correct way to go!
