I originally coded it that way, but concluded that it was probably a
waste of code space. How many locales can you point to where neither
the decimal point nor thousands_sep is "."? It certainly wouldn't be
enough to noticeably reduce the potential pain from this change, so
I decided that it'd be better to keep the behavior straightforward
and as-documented.
