If both CJKV and CTL are set "on", then, in _theory_, with "context
numbering" set, the numbering will follow the writing system of the
glyphs that are next to the numbers, be they BiDI, CJKV, CTL, or L2R.

The practice, unfortunately, does not always follow the theory.

"Locale" is writing system plus language plus geographical location.
