Arguments: stream value use-int-symbol suppress-dp &optional (locale *locale*)
Arguments:
This function outputs value to stream as a monetary amount appropriate to the specified locale.
If use-int-symbol is true, then the locale's international currency symbol (locale-int-curr-symbol) is used, otherwise the locale's currency-symbol (locale-currency-symbol) value is used.
If suppress-dp is true, then the decimal-point is not displayed if the locale's appropriate monetary fractional digits specification is zero. Note: It is an error for value to be a non-integer when being displayed with a locale where the fractional digits specification is zero.
The function locale-format-monetary can be invoked using the format ~/ directive. The locale argument can be supplied using format's ~v construct. The use-int-symbol argument is specified using the colon modifier. The suppress-dp argument is specified using the at-sign modifer.
