Maybe I'm not so clear (too few caffeine) but what I tried to say
(suggest) is that we could accept the thousands_sep from glibc instead
of guessing it ("."). I'm fine with the current behavior (at least in
pt_BR) but I'm afraid we have broken some locales (those that a
presented in the lcnumeric.diff).
