Research direction

Start by reproducing the R example with options(OutDec=",") and sprintf("%.3f", val), then trace the sprintf formatting path in stringi. Check where the OutDec option is read or ignored and compare the result with the expected decimal separator. Done means the example respects OutDec and relevant tests cover the behavior.
