; Note: when working with non-ascii strings in guile 2
;       Guile doesn't handle non-ascii characters in the default C locale
;       The locale must be set explicitly
;       The setlocale call below takes care of that
;       The locale needs to be a UTF-8 locale to handle the non-ASCII characters
;       But they are named differently on different systems so we try a few until one works
