I can certainly do that. I should also mention that while investigating this 
problem I found a test that's supposed to test this functionality: 
22.locale.money.get.cpp. The test fails 20 out of 1934 assertions but none of 
them look like they have anything to do with parsing international monetary 
values. It doesn't look like they are being tested at all...
