[dev] Questioning Horde_Currencies

[Duck]

Hode_Currencies is actually a copy of locale with the addition of exchange 
rates.

I don't like to stick to server users current locale. It can happen that the 
locale of the user does not exists or for example in Slovenia we move to euro 
but most distributions or current server installations still advertise our 
old currency – tolar.

Then with Horde_Currencies you can have multiply fractional digits. An 
piratical example. In customer world 2 fractional digits are normally used. 
But in business word 3 or even 4 digits are often. So for example in  Merk 
admin you enter items in 4 digits, and then you have a website installation 
sowing prices in 2 digits for normal costumers and another site with 3 digits 
for B2B sells. And all you must do is create different tables for you desired 
currencies and they digits.

I agree, that a feature to format a price in the user locale will be 
appreciated, bur for financial applications we must have greater control over 
it.
