since they not allows POSIXly legal locale data. Currently, if relaxed form
POSIXly legal locale data will be used right now, some programs will be broken,
but it means that either locale data or programs must be fixed, not the library.
Introduce non-standard md_order (month/day order) locale field to be used later
via nl_langinfo(). Currently %EF and %Ef emulated using this field, but they
planned for remove in future in favour of nl_langinfo() test field.
Implement %F per POSIX
representation of the full month name. In the Russian locale, this alternative
will be "nominative case", useful when the date designate month as a whole.
E.g. month heading in a calendar. I hope it can be useful for some other
locales too.
