bug#58193: 29.0.50; Screen flickers on with-locale-environment

[Pedro Andres Aranda Gutierrez]

HI Eli, 

there's nothing wrong, really. The thing is that you may want to change it just for one call of format-time-string

(or at least I wanted it) without having to change it permanently. 

BTW am I missing something .. would your let just change the value of system-time-locale in the body of the let and then restore it to its original value?

Best, /PA

What's wrong with

  (let ((system-time-local SOME-LOCALE))
     DO-SOMETHING)

How is that different from

   (let ((system-time-local SOME-LOCALE))
     (format-time-string ....))
