C++ allows to work with multiple different instances of locales at once. If an algorithm
manipulates some data in a way that requires the usage of locales, there must be a way
to specify them. However, one instance of locales is sufficient for most of the applications,
and for a user it could be very tedious to specify which locales to use at every place
and for a user it could be very tedious to specify which locales to use at every place
where it is needed.

Fortunately, the C++ standard allows to specify the <emphasis>global</emphasis> locales (using static member
function <code>std:locale::global()</code>). When instantiating an
<code>std::locale</code> class without explicit information, the instance will
be initialized with the <emphasis>global</emphasis> locale. This implies, that if an algorithm needs a locale,
be initialized with the <emphasis>global</emphasis> locale. This implies, that if an algorithm needs a locale,
it should have an <code>std::locale</code> parameter defaulting to <code>std::locale()</code>.
If a user needs to specify locales explicitly, she can do so. Otherwise the <emphasis>global</emphasis>
locales are used.
