Right, if we go as far as supporting LANG, the framework is already
there and we might as well do the rest too.
My reasoning was that LANG is a bit different, since it affects all the
other ones if they are unset. Making even more of a mess just to get the
ability to change the format of, say, just phone numbers seemed a bit
silly.
