From the SRFI 19 document:

~f	seconds+fractional seconds, using locale's decimal separator (e.g.  
5.2).

This is currently the only use. I know that it duplicates the  
information that a better locale sensitive system would have elsewhere  
but at least the ability to specify a different decimal separator is  
available.
