	__refs, bool __has_name, string __str): Do it here.

	* include/bits/localefwd.h: _S_categories_num to
	_S_num_categories. _S_facets_num to _S_num_facets.
	(locale:🆔:id()): Explicitly set _M_index to zero.
	* src/locale.cc: Same.

	* src/locale.cc: (locale::locale(const char*)): Construct named
	locales uniquely.

	protected, from private.
	(_Impl::_M_get_c_locale): Add member function.
	(locale::facet::_M_get_global_impl()): Add member function.
	* include/bits/locale_facets.h (numpunct::_M_init): Change to take
	a __c_locale pointer.
	(numpunct::numpunct( __c_locale*, size_t)): Add additonal ctor for
	named locales.

1. Abstract Describes the basic locale object, including nested
classes id, facet, and the reference-counted implementation object,
class _Impl.

3. Problems with &quot;C&quot; locales : global locales, termination.
</H2>
<P>
The major problem is fitting an object-orientated and non-global locale
design ontop of POSIX and other relevant stanards, which include the
Single Unix (nee X/Open.)
Because POSIX falls down so completely, portibility is an issue.
<P>
<H2>
4. Design
</H2>
Class locale in non-templatized and has three distinct types nested
inside of it:
class facet
22.1.1.1.2 Class locale::facet
Facets actually implement locale functionality. For instance, a facet
called numpunct is the data objects that can be used to query for the
thousands seperator is in the German locale.
Literally, a facet is strictly defined:
- containing
public:
static locale::id id;
- or derived from another facet
The only other thing of interest in this class is the memory
management of facets. Each constructor of a facet class takes a
std::size_t __refs argument: if __refs == 0, the facet is deleted when
no longer used. if __refs == 1, the facet is not destroyed, even when
it is no longer reference.
class id
Provides an index for looking up specific facets.

5. Examples

<pre>
typedef __locale_t locale;

More information can be found in the following testcases:

</UL>

<H2>
6. Unresolved Issues
</H2>
<UL>
<LI> locale -a displays available locales on linux
<LI> locale initialization: at what point does _S_classic,
_S_global get initialized? Can named locales assume this
initialization has already taken place?
</UL>
