That was actually my point. I set LC_ALL in 02locale on my 
workstations/laptops, and so far I haven't had any need to 
change it. IMO, LC_ALL makes much more sense than LANG for 
the "catch-all LC_* variable name" so that's what I use.

On a multi-user box, I would probably make a different choice.
