Shhh. The ISO standard for drafting of standards (which I had the misfortune
of having to reread this week) requires that the decimal points in numbers
be represented by commans. Luckily, programming language standards have
ignored that requirement. Other, we'd be presented with nonsense like:
The numeric literal has the value given. For example, "3.14" has the value
3,14.
