PATCH 1/1 Allow LANG/LC_TYPE with @ symbol

According to IEEE Std 1003.1[1], the common way to specify LANG/LC_TYPE is:
language[_territory][.codeset]

However, a variant may also be used, like:

	[language[_territory][.codeset][@modifier]]

Change the logic to allow getting the charset also with the extended syntax.

Thanks to Winfield <[email protected]> for pointing it to me.
