It's somewhat working. Now the default behaviour is equivalent to setting force_decpoint as default, which is fine, I think. As you'll see below I set that setting to off and it still interpreted the dot as the decimal separator. Now, if the comma was intended to work as the decimal separator, it still doesn't work. Maybe a 'use_locale' setting to specify would be clearer, or just always enforce force_decpoint on.

The symbol ',' is not valid in this context
Syntax error in command line
? print testcomma
'testcomma' is not the name of a variable
