[Nix-dev] defaultLocale

Hello Nixos'rs!

I'd like to set some system defaults for currencies, 24h time, etc, so 
I've set the 'defaultLocale' option in my /etc/nixos/configuration.nix:

 > i18n.defaultLocale = "nl_NL.UTF-8";

However, this setting is taking it a bit too far, because I now also get 
localized output from tools, and complaints that manpages are missing.

So, I'd rather have the language set to US enlish, but do have localized 
date/time notation, etc. Is there are middle ground?

Thanks,
Arie
