I was under the impression that there is no way of separating the locale
used for input (e.g. scanf) from the locale used for output (e.g. printf).
Do you know otherwise?

As to "set locale xx_YY.ZZ", we could create such a command easily.
But the documentation must be as clear as possible that such a command
will only *work* if the appropriate locale is already installed on the 
user's machine.
