4 // The <KPDL> key is a mess.
5 // It was probably originally meant to be a decimal separator.
6 // Except since it was declared by USA people it didn't use the original
7 // SI separator "," but a "." (since then the USA managed to f-up the SI
8 // by making "." an accepted alternative, but standards still use "," as
10 // As a result users of SI-abiding countries expect either a "." or a ","
11 // or a "decimal_separator" which may or may not be translated in one of the
12 // above depending on applications.
13 // It's not possible to define a default per-country since user expectations
14 // depend on the conflicting choices of their most-used applications,
15 // operating system, etc. Therefore it needs to be a configuration setting
