Does anyone know of a good library for doing locale sensitive formatting
of numbers, money, and time? I.e.:

require 'locale.rb'

locale = Locale['fr_FRA']
french_format = 10000.99.to_s(locale)
#=> "10.000,99"

default_locale_format = 10000.99.to_s
#=> "10,000.99"

Thanks!

Not that I know of. I know that the number formatting method I wrote
many months ago and Gavin Sinclair included in his Extensions library
does some locale-like formatting and is more configurable.

It would be a good basis for a localization module if you want to use
it, as well.

Fixnum#to_s already has a parameter defined, the base:

15.to_s 16 #=> f
