| Locales, or: The Infamous 2,17 Problem.

What I wan to do it to change format to be a string or an integer.
Then we won't need the hack for this case. OTOH we probably have this
problem other places too.

| 2. A better fix: temporary switching to the "C" locale when reading/writing
| files.
| In this case, should it use setlocale, locale::global or .imbue?
| setlocale is the only option when <locale> is not available. In the later
| case, imbuing the stream looks like the right thing---but there's a catch.
| lex.getFloat() uses strToDbl(), which calls ::atof... See the can of
| worms open (-:
string to double we later switch to use lexical_cast. It is also
possible with lexical cast to set the locale for a specific cast.
| I've implemented my #2 proposition. It adds a small header file (~100 lines

| instancied in buffer.C (writeFile) and lyxlex_pimpl.C (constructor, setFile,
| setStream).

| What do you LyXperts think?
Have to look at it first.
