newlocale et al are specified in a draft to be part of future POSIX standards
(http://www.opengroup.org/bookstore/catalog/c065.htm). The standard is
based on the glibc features. If it fails to specify newlocale's behavior
to match what glibc does, that is an unintended error in the specification.
How does Darwin's newlocale behave differently than glibc's?
Does it conform to the specification?
querylocale might be a worthwhile addition, but AFAIK no users have asked
for such functionality and noone proposed adding it to the standard.
