os.setlocale("") is a better solution because it reads the locale from
the environment:

	env LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8" lua
	Lua 5.3.3  Copyright (C) 1994-2016 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
	> os.setlocale("")
	en_US.ISO8859-1/en_US.ISO8859-1/en_US.ISO8859-1/fr_FR.UTF-8/en_US.ISO8859-1/en_US.ISO8859-1
	> "3,14" + 1
	4,14
