 When porting my code to Windows recently, I found an odd bug in my tests:
 They were comparing "UTF-8" to "Windows-1252". Looking through my code I
 figured out the problem: I didn't have ANSI locales enabled when
 generating, and then expected get_system_locale to produce something
 meaningful.

 If ANSI locales are disabled by default, why does get_system_locale assume
 I want an ANSI locale by default?
