So do you see something like:

__locale_cache<char>& __lc = use_cache<char>

or

__locale_cache<num_put<char> >& __lc = use_cache<num_put<char> >

?


I would think that either way, at some point the size of the cache has
to be fixed.  Wouldn't it affect the ABI?

Or are you thinking that the issue is that caches for different facets
can be added later?
