IIUC, run_with_locale will fallback to not setting the locale if none of the listed locales actually works on the system. This would be undesirable for this issue - it would be a proper test only if you have a locale for which strftime currently fails (i.e. returns non-ASCII characters, and doesn't use UTF-8).

I don't think so. IIUC, run_with_locale will fallback to not
setting the locale if none of the listed locales actually works
on the system. This would be undesirable for this issue - it
would be a proper test only if you have a locale for which
strftime currently fails (i.e. returns non-ASCII characters,
and doesn't use UTF-8).
