Yes, I have a number of dot <-> comma conversion utlities and J makes
it fine. But I think that the !. (fit) with ". might be a "pure J"
way to inform the decimal delimiter. Like
".!.',' '123,4'
123.4

In other words you have formatters and parsers that
maintain locale information do corresponding conversions

It could actually be a good area for a new localization
addon.
