I don't see any existing uses of locale_t or __locale_t under
/usr/include/c++ but I would have no objection to adding a
bits/types/__locale_t.h that provided *only* the impl-namespace name,
even though nothing needs it right now.

It's just that right now xlocale.h insists on exposing both __locale_t
and locale_t, and I think all of the uses of __locale_t in our own
headers could be locale_t.
