And how do you detect that? The point is, the date locale setting that
matters is the one at runtime, not compile time. So any function that
dynamically builds and parses a date string has to deal with all the
possible locale settings on all the systems where the script is
ultimately run. No big deal if you're the only one who runs the
scripts you write, but otherwise...
