Thousands separator

This seems so weird that this isn't an option in a long-developed program created around doing math on a computer in a more legible way like we do by hand... Surely it isn't that hard to format numbers like that? Spreadsheets have been doing that for decades, as far as I can remember. It might take several options to account for differences in local custom, like using a point for a decimal point and a comma for the thousands separator here in the US versus a comma for the decimal and a space for the thousands separator in other regions, but still.... If Microsoft can figure it out, surely Mathsoft - I mean, PTC - can figure it out. And this request is from 9 years ago and still nothing.

This would not be just a matter of replacing one character for another.

The comma has also other meanings in Prime. I separates the arguments of a function and it also starts the definition of a range.

I am used to using the comma as the decimal separator, but I can live with the decimal point very well and without any problems.
In my opinion, there are bigger areas for improvement in Prime—many more and much larger ones.

According the thousands separator - i don't need it but as an option, OK.

Feel free to suggest an idea here and hope the best.
