#6 Allowing international decimal separator (comma)

[Morten Hattesen]

For JEP to be usable for end-user input in an
international environment (e.g. most of Western
Europe), the decimal separator should not be hard-
coded as ".", but configurable, using a supplied
java.util.Locale. For further information, see

Note that this may cause trouble with functions, where
comma is used as parameter separator, as in 'if
(1=2,3,4)'. The generally accepted norm is to use
semicolon (;) as parameter/list separator.

Any ideas?
