It isn't accurate results. Many libc functions calls ctype
indirecly, i.e. strtol, atoi, etc. You additionly need
to grep ctype through libc and then grep function you got
through bin/sbin. I suspect that 100% of programs use ctype
for accurate results.

1) I don't care of bloat on my proposal, I care of easy way of locale using.
2) We already discuss that bloat on early days and agree
let it be.
3) I don't see proper way to avoid it for statically compiled
pgms, so I don't understand what we can discuss here. Yes
it isn't very good. Alternatives?
