What I meant was that you can have an interface similar to:
set_format( std::cout, "[%,%]" /* or whatever */);
In this case, whether the implementation uses locales or not can be an implementation detail.
You can't hide it completely -- you'll either have per-stream setting or global setting.
In the case I outlined, it would be per-stream.
