What makes you think otherwise?
perhaps, a little too terse info in the C standard and in the
glibc docs (that just talk about char*)
In particular, in 7.11.2.1, p3, "the members of the structure with type
char* are pointers to strings". I find this talking about "strings"
instead of "multi byte sequences" really misleading.
While we are at it, the description of int_curr_symbol is quite complex...
But we are dealing with it exactly in the same way of currency_symbol!
For the C++ library purposes, should we actually discard the 4th char??
