And what about when you later want to *output* numbers with decimal
separators - which "should" be formatted according to the locale's
conventions? You then need a call to unset LC_NUMERIC - but if you then
need to read or otherwise handle input again, you need a call to set
LC_NUMERIC to "C" again. But of course you may need to unset it again
after that, and...

(I get the feeling someone's going to ding me for something I've
completely missed, but I'm almost getting used to that.)
