It is equal to my 1) expect I plan to block loading runes locale
at software level, if someone ever tries.
As I say, each static binaries will bloats by unused runic code
in this case, its about 24K.
P.S. Personally I don't care of bloating, but it was one of the
strongest arguments against my locale hack, so where is
non-bloating community? (just wonder :-).
