I'm not against putting a comma in the format to indicate that grouping

I would prefer the format to have a fixed default so that if you don't
specify the locale the result is predictable.
Shouldn't that be the global locale?
Other parts of the language, such as str.upper, aren't locale-sensitive,
so I think that format shouldn't be either. If you want it to be
locale-sensitive, then specify the locale, even if it's the system
locale.
