Then I think I have found another bug, because I don't have any possibility
to get a float number locale independent. I tried with [NSString
stringWithFormat: "%f", floatValue] and with [[NSNumber numberWithFloat:
floatValue] stringValue].
Even saving this NSNumber instance into a dictionary and writing it to a
file failed. I always get 9,5 instead of 9.5.
