It's very temptating to str() just represent the number, and if you want
something else, overload it.
The problem is that decimalSeparator and thousandSeparator are important to
parse the string in the constructor (if I need str() to give me a ',' as
decimal point, I also need to supply a ',' as decimal point to the
constructor).
