Just an odd thought for the xTalk-as-English people: how long until 
the above is expressed as:

put a comma after every third character of kv, starting at the fourth 
character from the right and going left

Note that the following would behave differently, turning 123 into ,123:

put a comma before every third character of kv, starting at the third 
character from the right and going left
