parse time with locale

[void-mian]

I found that absl::parseTime uses cctz::detail::parseTM which is locale specific. Is this by design?

This is a question for @devbww or https://github.com/google/cctz.

Yes. Apart from its special extensions, absl::ParseTime() uses strptime() or std::get_time() to implement its format specifiers, many of which are defined as locale-dependent. Maintaining this property is indeed by design.
