Good to know.

In other words, LANG is completely ignored, since there presumably won't
be a Mac without settings.

I thought that was current behaviour.  If it's not, then by all means,
please go ahead, implement this and document it.

The only point of dissension is about LANG.  What you propose is
closer to POSIX than what's current, so it's still progress, even though
it both violates POSIX and deviates from Wine's behaviour on Linux.
We can revisit the LANG issue some time later.

Hmm, thinking about your pseudo-code (not quoted here), I'm not sure
that
implements the "LC_ALL takes priority over LC_xyz" correctly, does it?
Also, it omits the mapping that Bruno Haible hinted at:
    "Note that these [MacOS X]
     settings are similar but not entirely equal to Unix (glibc)
     conventions (e.g. "zh-Hans" vs. "zh_CN"), therefore some mapping of
     names has to be done."
