Comment 3 for bug 659107

I don't see any reason that SBCL should be an exceptional case: the rest of the system needs the system locale configuration to be setup properly, why does SBCL need to do something different -- why does it deserve a command-line option?

Some things that make more sense than that:
- Making *default-external-format* public.
- Making it possible to specify, in a source file, what encoding that source file should be read with. E.g.
