Function  nl_langinfo return character pointer to internal structure.

With switch to input of locale data in UTF-8 internal representation for 
string and wstring  could be optimized do not store 'wide' representation .

Another issue is with non-string types. For instance TIME block define 
number of days in week as "byte' , week first day as 'word', calendar 
direction .

Currently  nl_langinfo return a pointer to internals and how application 
will know how to convert ?
