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
