Why LC_ALL or LANG don't work for you then?
Please reread the patch. They are looked at, just not exclusively. LC_ALL overrides everything, and LANG is looked at if no LC_CTYPE (or whatever) is used. That's the order Unix does it (man 7 locale).
Well, I had read glibc sources and it's definitely ignores LC_CTYPE.
Maybe there is no part of glibc that cares what encoding it is. I can tell you with authority that X does look at it, as does less, konsole, kedit, and almost any other application I have ever run.
No, it shouldn't. Again, I'd ask to use LANG or LC_ALL for that purpose, you can't have LANG and LC_TYPE point to different locales in a sane manner anyway.
? Docs says I can. Actual practice says I can (I do it all the time, as do many people in Israel). Please elaborate on why you chose to call a documented behavior *that works* "insane".
Sorry, I skipped other parts of your arguments.
