it's arguable and i'm not strongly against it. the rational behind the
current setup is that if *locale* is always a normalized list of
locale instances (precedence list) then all code dealing with *locale*
can assume this and avoid the headache (and some performance loss if
each function needs to look up the locales for itself).

while using with-locale, this normalization is only at one place.

i'd instead argue for not exporting *locale* and advertising
current-locale and with-locale.
