I'm still not clear in my mind what the plan is with regard to ICU. Is it intended eventually to be:
a) an always-there part of parrot, or
b) just a sometimes-there thing that gets linked in if you mess with unicode?
A) is the case. I didn't realize that the ICU library did numeric formatting.
And then I realized, somewhat belatedly, that this won't necessarily work. I think I'd rather not have to yank things into Unicode just to format numbers.
Hrm. To reinvent the wheel or paint the bikeshed--that is the question.
