Is a "decimal comma" a thausands separator, or is it a decimal-point for locales where that is expressed by a comma?

I'm not sure this is universal, but locales which use a period for a thousands separator use a comma as a decimal point, and vice-versa.

It's not universal, that wouldn't be complicated enough!

It's the separator between the whole and fractional parts of the number.
