I want to change the locale after I have a reference to the object. Sure, I
can split the to interfaces, but why? If I split it like you suggest I always
need a reference to that factory, which is clumsy.

I am quite sure that I need to encode it somehow into the object reference,
else I cant distinguish the databases.
