Rich,

My primary desire would be to enable more seamless porting of BSD/OSX
applications by supporting more BSD interfaces, regardless of truth of the
rationale provided.

Why do you think it harmful to add localeconv_l()?

Why must programs have uselocale() fallbacks? They don't have to, they may
never have been ported from BSD, and they might only be expected to work when
localeconv_l is present. Compiling such a program with a new enough glibc with
localeconv_l would just work, and that would be good.
