Doing this as a backend setting has been proposed and rejected before.
The risk of breaking client code seems to outweigh any possible value.
As a psql setting, though, it seems relatively harmless --- certainly
no more dangerous than \x or the other pset formatting parameters.

Yes, I wanted to ask that too --- if the patch can cope with locales that
exchange the roles of comma and period, that would make a lot of people
very happy.
