+Locale handling
+---------------
+
+Lua CJSON uses strtod() and snprintf() to perform numeric conversion
+as they are usually well supported, fast and bug free.
+
+To ensure JSON encoding/decoding works correctly for locales using
+comma decimal separators, Lua CJSON must be compiled with either
+USE_POSIX_USELOCALE or USE_POSIX_SETLOCALE. See the Makefile or the
+rockspec for details.
