About your follow-up commit 6325527d845b629243fb3f605af6747a7a4ac45f,
I noticed that glibc localedata has some grouping values of 0 (no
grouping at all), for example nl_NL, el_GR, hr_HR, it_IT, pl_PL,
es_CU, pt_PT and we don't honour that, if it's 0 we use 3. All the
rest begin with 3, except for unm_US which uses 2;2;2;3 (apparently a
Delaware language), and I confirmed that now produces strings like "12
34 56", so I guess that obscure locale may be the only case that the
commit actually changes on a glibc system.
