iostream flags are edited by tabulate but not restored

[dhcabinian]

The following issue occurs where tabulate will override the flags of an iostream and fail to undo the changes after the print. This causes any future prints to have the flags of tabulate.

The issue comes from these locale lines:
std::locale::global(std::locale(locale));

This overrides the global setting for all stringstreams and causes other prints to be affected.

Seeing a same issue. The only alternative for me is to call the std::locale::global(...) with the copy of the current locale before calling into tabulate. Any ETA for fixing this?

std::global seems to return the old locale. So, the following change should work right?

auto old_locale = std::locale::global(std::locale(name));
//do some stuff here
std::locale::global(l);
