Very nice, _but_

- it's quite restricted to currencies, which is of course an obvious
   application of numeric formatting, but by far not the only one!

- this approach opens another way of numeric formatting and is in no way
   compatible with the common numeric formatting syntax of other
   languages/spreadsheets etc.

- It's a solution for C, not for C++.

However, I think I like the alignment feature; I'm just not sure at the
moment if it's the trouble...
