 True, but partial support already exists for producing these numbers
 with the %'f format of printf:
 
 $ env | egrep -e 'LANG|LC_'
 LC_ALL=en_US.ISO8859-1
 LANG=en_US
 $ printf "%'.02f\n" 12345678
 12,345,678.00
 
 So we might want to avoid treating . as an equivalent of the thousands
 separator, in case someone comes up with a good way to implement any
 functionality we currently might not have.
