If this syntax works, ok, but I don't understand it, and it doesn't seem to work
for me if I do a trivial example in that form.

The thing I did in the very long-running change to make date-formatting work was
change it to "this.locale" and provide a setter locale for the _locale variable,
and a getter that returned it or en_US if unset.
