The better option is to to enforce it in /usr/local/bin/edit-pr, which
can easily be done.  I already approached admins@ about this a long time
ago, but I'm not familiar enough with locales to know exactly what
effect this would have on people who do use them.

How much would it freak you out to lose your locale setting within vi
with no warning, for instance?  If the answer is "not much", then we'll
just go ahead and do it.
