Could not distinguish the first and second #: everything between them is
optional.

The current specification for the format spec is:
[[fill]align][sign][#][0][width][grouping_option][.precision][type]
Let's say we change it to:
[[fill]align][sign][#][*|$][0][width][grouping_option][.precision][type]
...
Let's call the new [*|$] character the "locale character".

I'm not married to '*' for LC_NUMERIC, although I think '$' makes sense
for LC_MONETARY.
If the "locale character" would be placed behind (or just infront of) the type,
it would be possible to use '#' instead of '*' as modifier, which - for my taste - is a
better fit for LC_NUMERIC .
Syntax would be
[[fill]align][sign][#][0][width][grouping_option][.precision][type][#|$]
or
[[fill]align][sign][#][0][width][grouping_option][.precision][#|$][type]
