Getting value from decimal (with dot) string

[SooR]

numeral(243.7).value() => 243.7
numeral('243,7').value() => 243.7
numeral('243.7').value() => 2437 // Wrong

Why?

Also happened to me, I had to convert the string to number using parseFloat in order to get the right value.
Looks like this happens when you use a locale that changes the delimiters :

numeral.register('locale', 'fr', {
  delimiters: {
    thousands: ' ',
    decimal: ','
  },
  abbreviations: {
    thousand: 'k',
    million: 'm',
    billion: 'b',
    trillion: 't'
  },
  ordinal: number => number === 1 ? 'er' : 'e',
  currency: { symbol: '€' }
})

numeral.locale('fr')

numeral('243.7').value() // returns 2437 -> Wrong

However it should return the right value (numeral('243.7').value() => 243.7) if you don't use a locale...
