(BTW, it's quite easy to parse commas in Pd.)
It's not like anyone has an actual choice in having commas parsed...
If I write a comment about some hardware hack like «you can get such a kit for 7,50$ at Omer DeSerres» then Pd thinks «you must mean: 7, 50$» which looks more than weird with that space. This is just my locale, but the same pattern would also happen in Europe.
That's not half as bad as writing sentences that end with a number followed by a period, and the period being forced by the MCP Cone to play "Discs Of Tron," where it slips into the abyss and gets eliminated
