QUERY

This is probably a bad idea.  XEmacs/Mule is POSIX-oriented.  As such
it should be controlled by the POSIX locale.  I suspect that "the
Carbon infrastructure" pays attention to whatever it is that the Mac
uses instead of POSIX locales under normal conditions, and it is a
massive PITA to deal with this Mac exceptionalism when something in
the locales goes weird.
