The approach suggested by Ulrich, which is to defer setting the new
locale until all args have been parsed, also has the feature that
placement of --locale does not matter. The downside being that you
can't use --locale to change the interpretation of the command line
args at all. Exactly what is the intended use of --locale? Can
anyone produce a reasonable use-case? Discussing the semantics
without knowing when the option is intended to be used seems rather
pointless...
