Note that I have overcome my reluctance and converted the current code in the repository to print numbers according to the locale. As you said, it's a cultural preference that should be respected. However, it doesn't use the separators, except in the progress bar display where there is no additional unit information, so they are still needed. It was weird at first, but it didn't take long to get used to.
