LOCALE_GET() [message #34763]

Anyone know anything about the documented (since V5.3) LOCALE_GET()
function? It has no parameters or keywords, and the documentation just
says that it "returns the current locale (string) of the operating
platform". Well, on my Solaris and Linux machines, it just returns
the single letter "C" -- not very useful, I should think. On Windows
it returns "English_United States:442" and so I suppose it could be used
to determine the language and nationality of the current user. Has
anyone actually used LOCALE_GET() for anything useful?
