I wonder what is that other tools do when stumbling on this, i.e.
some other tool output that produces values that have the CSV character
in it...

Completely disabling the configured locale seems too harsh to me, aren't
people used to changing the csv char via some option like we have in
'perf stat':

    -x, --field-separator

when changing the locale from the default 'C' one? Hey, you even used it
above, but you chose a CSV char that is used in this locale, oops ;-)
