That would make the output of 'format' dependent on the current
locale, unless we do something else to allow Lisp programs to take
control on what those specifiers produce.  That "something else" is
what I was talking about.  It is true that I was talking about larger
range of issues, but still, even this small feature touches on some of
them.  And I don't think you had any ideas for how to resolve those
issues, or did I miss something?
