Hmm ... looks like cash_out really needs a significant rewrite to make
that work nicely. It's combining counting of digit positions with
counting of output bytes, which was messy enough already, but gets
worse fast if the thousands separator isn't a single byte.

Does anyone know of locales where the decimal point isn't a single byte?
I'm wondering if that assumption needs to be got rid of too.
