And why set-language-environment did not do it?

I did describe what I want (but maybe in a different place in the
thread): Be as smart as cat is. Allow characters which are input from
keyboard (TTY), and allow them to be written a file.

I do not follow. Do you say that set-locale-environment is going to
be useless anyway if the locale is not supported by the CRTL? Then
what should I do?
[Suppose for a moment that I do not care which 8-bit chars are word
chars, which are whitespace etc. All I need Emacs is to read bytes
from TTY, and write them down to a file.]
