By default, yes, that is correct.  Application authors can do whatever
they want to support this if they think it's important.  I'm not
really convinced that running a whole different process is a sane
solution for GNumeric to do different decimal separators.  At some
point, you have to start fixing the underlying stack; so libc would
need to gain sprintf_locale ("en_US.UTF-8", "%f", 0.1) etc.
