!summary



!problem

(1) Which 'locale' should be returned from the functions in package Ada.Locales? 
For instance, on Windows (XP, 2000, possibly others) there are at least a 'default
system locale' and the 'current users locale'.

(2) Why is Ada.Locales preelaborated? There can be no warranty that all instances
of this package in different partitions returns the same value because of
possible different settings.

Which 'locale' should be returned from the functions in package Ada.Locales? 

For instance, on Windows (XP, 2000, possibly others) there are at least a
'defaulot system locale' and the 'current users locale' and possibly others
that I don't know about.
