locale.5: Decimal points, thousands separators must be one character
PATCH 1/1 locale.5: Decimal points, thousands separators must be one character
This is implied by POSIX because it requires that these strings in the locale definition file contain one symbol. Currently, locale.5 does not document the concept of symbols, this change glosses over that and just uses the term "single-character string".
