Using this regexp as the default will confuse the users: if they see "4,3" is aligned as a number, they will expect it to be treated as a number. This is not the case for ">3.5": even when such string is aligned as a number, the user can clearly see by herself that this cannot be part of an arithmetic operation. I think the new option offered solves this issue. Best, -- Bastien
