For functions in UTF8Byte and UTF8Unicode, you can change its locale
by either

1) setting LC_* enviromental variables by Locale.setlocale
2) passing locale as an optional argument, which overwrites locale
obtained from LC_* variables.

For other functions, you have to explicitly pass the locale.  However,
  you could use partial application, e.g.

let my_col = compare_col locale in
...

my_col s1 s2
...

Most functionality of Camomile is accessible from UTF8Byte and
UTF8Unicode.
