SetCultureCommand should change culture also on CurrentThread

description

On my opinion SetCultureCommand should change culture also on CurrentThread's CurrentCulture / CurrentUICulture.
Reason: quite often we use libraries of controls that "pick up" such changes and adapt their content according to CurrentThread's culture.

This could be an option of the command, or another command with a name like "SetAllCulturesCommand".
What would you prefer?

I've seen that there is an IDictionaryEventListener interface... That should do it for the most common scenarios I described above.
Typically most of localizable applications have some kind of "LocalizationManager" that handle culture changes among its "breed" of controls. So, extending such a LocalizationManager with this interface and subscribing to the DictionaryEvent that is raised during the SetCultureCommand.Execute() method should be more than enough. This way a LocalizationManager could change also CurrentThread's CurrentCulture if it considers necessarily.

In conclusion, this issue I raised could be marked as "fixed" on the condition of one documenting such a scenario of notifying a LocalizationManager abou culture changes.

I'll implement a flag that can be set on the LocalizeDictionary with the default to true.
