We can't mess around with SQL syntax --- or would you like
SELECT 12,34;
to have locale-dependent results?
However, I think we could make the type-specific I/O routines for
appropriate types be locale-dependent. So you could do
SELECT '12,34'::int4;
and get the desired behavior in a locale where , is the radix point.
OTOH, arrays of int might be tricky...
