Basically, with the C locale, it changes 1000.00 to 1,000.00, so indeed
is does add a numeric separator.  For a European locale, 1000.00 becomes
1.000,00. so in that case is changes both the separator and decimal
marker.  We don't currently have a way to display 1000.00 as 1000,00.

I am thinking of calling it just numericlocale.
