And now, I think that that idea can be applied generally to the `Kernel#Integer`, `Kernel#Float`, and `Kernel#Rational` methods. There seems to be constant demand to parse numbers written in different languages, and there is no official clean way to handle the problem. I thought we can let these methods take an optional locale parameter to allow inputs in different languages. ```ruby Float("4,294,967,295.0") # => 4294967295.0 English, by default Float("4,294,967,295.0", locale: "en") # => 4294967295.0 Float("4 294 967.295,0", locale: "de") # => 4294967295.0 Float("4 294 967 295,0", locale: "fr") # => 4294967295.0 ``` Cf. https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19455-01/806-0169/overview-9/index.html -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
