-Set up custom currency formats. The argument is a string which must
-contain exactly three commas or exactly three periods. If commas, then
-the grouping character for the currency format is @samp{,}, and the
-decimal point character is @samp{.}; if periods, then the situation is
-reversed.
-
-The commas or periods divide the string into four fields, which are, in
-order, the negative prefix, prefix, suffix, and negative suffix. When a
-value is formatted using the custom currency format, the prefix precedes
-the value formatted and the suffix follows it. In addition, if the
-value is negative, the negative prefix precedes the prefix and the
-negative suffix follows the suffix.
