Case contract

solve(text, locale, exp): parse a localized amount into integer minor units at exponent exp. Group/decimal separators: en ',' '.', de '.' ',', ch "'" '.', fr ' ' or U+202F and ','. An optional leading '-' marks a negative amount (including -0.xx). If grouping is used, the first group has 1-3 digits and every later group exactly 3. A decimal separator must be followed by digits. Fraction digits beyond exp are allowed only if they are zeros, otherwise 'ERR:precision'. Malformed text returns 'ERR:format'; an unknown locale 'ERR:locale'.

Why this case matters

Currency amounts must be rounded at the right stage and in the right unit, or ledgers, quotes and settlements drift by minor units.
