The reason I didn't do something like this to begin with is that
gettext/glibc doesn't have support for fake locales, so you'd have to
appropriate a real one for tests. It's good to see you poking the
gettext mailing list about adding support far thot.

But something like podebug gets around that quite nicely, so we can
still have the testing the poison stuff was intended for, without the
complexity of supporting it throughout all our i18n code.
