        <pre>This
<span class="quote">> std::cout << "std::wcout's locale=" << std::wcout.getloc().name() << std::endl;</span >
prints "C" by default, despite user's locale being en_US.UTF-8

Is the choice of "C" based on some requirement stated in standards?

As it is now, users always need to call "std::wcout.imbue(std::locale(""));" in
order to make std::wcout usable with non-ASCII characters.

It would seem that std::wcout's default of "" or same as user's locale would
have been more practical.

Do users really always need to call "std::wcout.imbue(std::locale(""));" before
std::wcout can become usable?
