But \pset numericlocale is also a crock. It doesn't affect COPY output
for instance, and its ability to identify which data types it should apply
to is really shaky. And it's virtually unused, as demonstrated by the
fact that serious bugs in it went undetected for many years (cf 4778a0bda,
77130fc14). That's a really poor advertisement for the usefulness of the
proposed feature.
