Which are non-interoperable Windows-only totally meaningless language
and territory values to Cygwin startup or any Cygwin, Linux, or Unix
program based on Unix libraries or code, so everything might map to the
system default locale at best, or hardwired built-in C/POSIX locale at
worst.
That custom locale would be better if developed as a fr_CH replacement
or supplementary Windows locale.
