>Description:
If basic_streambuf<>::pubimbue() has not been called, the value returned by basic_streambuf<>::getloc() is the current global locale at the time getloc() is called, not the current global locale at the time of construction.

In particular, this means that it is not possible to cache the results of use_facet<>(getloc()), as the lifetime of the locale returned by getloc() is unknown.
