RBNF for money spellout

[Kent Karlsson]

For which <language, currency> combinations? It comes out as very many if
you take all. Note that in several languages different currencies have
different grammatical class (of some kine). E.g. "pund" is neuter, and
"dollar" is reale in Swedish; likewise "krona" is reale, and "öre" is
neuter.

So the spellouts are (or should be) already there, but the combination
with currency (and fractional currency) names should be done outside
of the RBNF mechanism. It is similar to the now deprecated time spellout,
that used to be part of the RBNF mechanism. We should not introduce, or
actually much worse. This kind of combination, while useful both for
cheques/similar and for general speech generation, should be kept
outside of the RBNF machinery itself.
