Roozbeh Pournader asks:

> Does glibc support native digits now?

glibc certainly supports U+0660..U+0669 as characters. But if you
create a locale in which iswdigit() of these characters returns true,
this locale will not be ISO C 99 compliant. (See ISO C 99 sections
7.25.2.1.5 and 5.2.1.) You can do it, but expect many programs to
break. glibc does not ship with non ISO-C compliant locales.
