Replaces the global C++ locale withloc, which means all future calls to thestd::locale default constructor will now return a copy ofloc. Ifloc has a name, also replaces the C locale as if bystd::setlocale(LC_ALL, loc.name().c_str());. This function is the only way to modify the global C++ locale, which is otherwise equivalent tostd::locale::classic() at program startup.
