Comment (by Claude Paroz):
Django has no way to differentiate formatting between monetary values and
other values. This formatting difference is a Swiss peculiarity, AFAIK. So
the current setting values are valid for most number, except monetary
values. I admit the comment is not very clear about that and could be
improved. By the way the `fr_CH` formats file could have the same comment,
as the situation is the same.
In my apps, I generally add an `|unlocalize` filter each time I have to
display a monetary value, so the `.` is used to format those numbers. This
solution is fine for Swiss-only apps, but fails in multi-country apps. We
could imagine implementing a special `monetary` filter/tag, but it looks
overkill if it's just for one country, considering that Swiss people will
also understand when a comma is used for monetary values, it's just not
the official way of printing them.
