A call to setlocale with no second argument is documented to be
a read-only operation, querying the current locale configuration.
In fact it has a side effect of setting the encoding on primordial ports:
$ guile-2.0 -c '(write (port-encoding (current-input-port))) (newline)
(setlocale LC_TIME) (write (port-encoding (current-input-port))) (newline)'
#f
"ANSI_X3.4-1968"
Observe that this occurs even if the locale reading operation is for a
category unrelated to character encoding. The actual decoding behaviour
of read-char is altered in accordance with the reported encoding.
Non-primordial ports opened before or after the setlocale call are
not affected.
