New issue 230 by [hidden email]: Number class>>readFrom: fails when  
Locale class>>decimalPoint not '.'
http://code.google.com/p/glassdb/issues/detail?id=230

While debugging Max Leske's report about test failures that hadn't  
reproduced in my test environment:

   http://forum.world.st/failing-tests-td3244020.html

specifically, SqueakTests>>#testReadFrom.

Upon code inspection, Number class>>readRemainderOf:from:base:withSign:,  
directly checks for a $. when parsing Floats, which means the parser fails  
if a Locale uses a different decimalPoint character...

In Max's description of the problem he mentions the value of the  
ScaledDecimal was "'34,' (yes, a comma, no fraction)" which implies that  
the printString for ScaledDecimal uses the Locale to create the  
printString...

Need to have a test environment with multiple locale's installed so I can  
flush these problems out.

part of making use of SqNumberParser needs to be making it Locale  
friendly .... while making sure that Locale is used on the printing side  
consistently ...

SqNumberParser should be using Locale class>>decimalPoint when parsing  
numbers show `34,` should be parsed correctly moving forward ... not sure  
if all of the printStrings use Locale?
