I believe you are correct.  frac_digits() is intended to represently 
*exactly* the number of digits after the decimal point.  One could of 
course have frac_digits() return 0 if that is what one wants.

To the best of knowledge, the std::money facets don't do the showpoint 
dance that you can do with the numeric facets.
