I understand your use case. I'm arguing about the default, not about
the need to support your use case. The default should be to redraw
the frame, and your use case should be supported by having some
variable that you could bind around the call of the macro, to prevent
redrawing.
Good, I could live with that

Common Lisp is just a programming language, it is not a display
editor. In Emacs, certain operations that affect the display should
be immediately reflected on display.
So, one implication of my question is whether all operations that need a specific locale to be set need the display redrawn...

setlocale is a low-level function that is called by Emacs as part of
this macro.
I know, and I was wondering if we could create an Elisp construct that *only* uses setlocate if we are sure that we do not need to redraw the screen
I think we are approaching 'violent agreement' :-)
