[Glass] DateAndTime ... all pretty strange

[Dale Henrichs via Glass]

Okay, so when you said:

   "DateAndTime now printString" I get (e.g.) 
'2017-01-11T20:37:32.28995895385742+01:00' which looks pretty ok.

It really doesn't "look okay" because the printString should have been 
displayed as:

   '2017-01-11T20:37:32,28995895385742+01:00'

using a $, instead of a $. ... is that what you are saying? Or perhaps 
the format using $. is correct because it conforms to the spec?

I see that a year ago there was an attempt to address a Locale-based 
issue[1], and it might be that the fix was not quite correct as I think 
that a $. is still being used here[2]:

[ aStream atEnd | (ch = $.) | (ch = $+) | (ch = $-) ]

and perhaps that line should look like this:

[ aStream atEnd | (ch = decimalPointChr) | (ch = $+) | (ch = $-) ]

Could you give this patch a try and see if it fixes your problem?
