I like to pretend that in 2014 we've all migrated to UTF8.  :(
Changing the locale at runtime is so mean :D

If we go with the local platform encoding we're restricted to
single-byte character sets -- the most-used beyond single-byte is
UTF8, that was all I was saying.  From what I remember, EBCDIC has
more math chars than ASCII?
