Incomplete support for _l versions is a POSIX bug, nothing else. All
locale sensitive functions should have a version with explicit locale
argument, it's likely that noone ever got around to demand that.

That said, this should still be pretty well contained if there is any
abstraction for the print/scan logic used.
