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