 * To have the intended effect, this function must be called before init() is called.
 * Not calling it has the same effect as calling it with @a state = <tt>true</tt>.
 *
 * Note the confusing difference between C locale and "C" locale.
 * The C locale is the locale used by C code, set by std::setlocale(LC_ALL,&nbsp;locale_name).
 * The "C" locale is the classic locale, set by std::setlocale(LC_ALL,&nbsp;"C")
 * or std::locale::global(std::locale::classic()). It's the default global locale
 * in a C or C++ program.
 *
 * In a mixed C and C++ program, like a program using glibmm, having the C global
 * locale differ from std::locale::global() is error prone. Glib::init() tries
 * to avoid that.
 *
 * @param state If <tt>true</tt>, init() will set the C and C++ global locale
 *              to the user's preferred locale (std::locale::global(std::locale(""))).
 *              The user's preferred locale is set in the program's environment,
 *              usually with the LANG environment variable.<br>
 *              If <tt>false</tt>, init() will set the C++ global locale to the C global locale
 *              (std::locale::global(std::locale(std::setlocale(LC_ALL,&nbsp;nullptr)))).
