The last revision now takes thousand separators into account. 

But be careful that in the GNU locales, many languages have thousand 
separators only for currencies.

So, when a locale does not have any thousands separator, a space is used, and 
the value is splitted each three digits. Maybe this is a bad idea that will 
be removed in the future!
