I beleive command-line should be free of regional settings, so it
should be utilities taking the standard delimiter "." instead of
scripts thinking about that. Otherwise any script can work 
unpredictable. Never met (and checked some systems) other behaviour 
than taking "." in russian locale.
Also, NetBSD work fine with 'top -s 0.5' and fail with 0,5, 'bc -l'
take "." only either.
