Float numbers with coma ',' instead of dot '.' ?
Is it a joke?

Here in Brazil we use comma in non-integer numbers. And no, we don't
consider this a joke.

I don't know how FloatSpin is currently implemented. In theory it
should read the system's settings and find a adequate separator, but
it may be hardcoded.

I think that in languages community the default separator is 'dot'. If
I use this component, before reading its contents I need to change ,
->. since lazarus does not understand ','. My comp settings are set to
'.' so it seems as a bug rather that settings incompatibility.

There should be a sort of DecimalSeparator property for this
component, I guess

there is one global DecimalSeparator variable in your app, which
initially uses the value of your OS.
