Thusly, EPOCHREALTIME should not be made to depend on the locale. I have seen
many
workarounds, that complicate rather than simplify something that should be
straighforward
and germaine to direct numeric computation.
A agree 100%
It is as frustrating as printf arguments format being dependent on
locale settings:
This will fail because of questionable design decision of having a
mutable argument format:
LC_NUMERIC=fr_FR@UTF-8; printf 'Pi: %2.4f\n` "$(bc -l <<<'4*a(1)')"
Note how the format indicator still use a dot, but the argument format's
decimal separator is that of the system's locale.
Imagine if C++ or Java had methods with different signature depending on
system locale. You would scream fool. But for Bash, it was decided it
was all fine.
