Until you put a pipe between and turn the outputs of command a into inputs of

It's a fair point.

I.E. I/O doesn't round trip here:

$ LC_NUMERIC=de_DE env printf "%f\n" 0.1 $(LC_NUMERIC=de_DE env printf "%f\n" 
0.1)
0,100000
printf: 0,100000: value not completely converted
0,000000

I suppose commands might only enable locale specific output if
output is to a tty, though that brings other inconsistencies.
