These are up to the system's strtol/strtod. I don't know of too many strtol implementations that use the thousands separator and numeric grouping.
Chet and you other Bash maintainers or contributors dudes:I can foresee the implications and blockages even lightly considering the possibility to align the Bash's built-in printf behavior with the %f argument with the sibling GNU Coreutils printf implementation.
Anyway, I hope this topic to remain a place for sane discussions about the implications of Bash's printf implementation for numerical data interoperability while allowing display and printout to user locale format.
Because it help myself in a positive way, I'd like to share my free software contribution with a small lcnumconv.sh library I made available here:
https://github.com/leagris/lcnumconv.shThe README exposes the incentives behind this library/stand-alone command, that may shed some light on how the Bash's printf implementation of the %f format can be an issue.
Be glad if it can helps in some way. Do what the F** you want with it :) -- Léa Gris
