Well, the change was purely cosmetic, accepting commas by default 
will just change the way the table is aligned.  See this email by
Nicolas:

But I guess it's confusing to align numbers as if they were numbers,
and to then tell the users "well, they are not really numbers."

I'm in favor of reverting this change and let the user change the
variable if he wants.

What do you - and Nicolas - think?
