Nah, we already had that discussion upthread. Given the lack of
prior complaints, we shouldn't break cases that are working today.
For instance, as long as setlocale() isn't actively thread-unsafe
and you are running with LC_NUMERIC=C as the prevailing locale,
the existing code doesn't pose a hazard even in a threaded app.
Forcing users for whom that's true to --disable-thread-safety
would turn an OK situation into a broken one.
