Prohibit the comma in numbers

[ChALkeR]

The logic below splits on .: value.split(".").

This is not a safe change to make. I know some locales use comma instead of period, but commas can also be used as thousands separators, so this could have other unintended consequences.

The benefit of having a strict input though does aid when locale-specific inputs is that it is easier to transform. For places where the input may be of Swiss, French, etc. input can be transformed using input.replace(",", "."). There is certainly room for someone to create a locale-sensing library for parsing input, which is actually quite a bit more complex than it may seem, but I would link to it if someone made something robust. ;)

Oh!!! I was completely wrong. I see know what you meant.

Yes, I will fix this in the next release. :)

(I totally read the diff backwards, thinking you wanted me to add support for the comma as a decimal separator)

Great catch, btw. Merged in 5.5.0.

Thanks! :)
