I don't think I explained this very well. For input, the printf builtin
relies on strtod(3) to parse the string into a floating point number. For
output, it relies on printf(3) to display a floating point number as a
string. I'm not really interested in re-implementing either one if the
system libc provides one that's perfectly acceptable. On POSIX-conformant
systems, those library functions generally honor the locale's decimal_point
character as the radix character.
The `bc' you're using isn't POSIX conformant.
