USDOLLAR

[Eike Rathke <erack@sun.com>]

Hi,

Excel has USDOLLAR, which, contrary to DOLLAR that is locale dependent,
always returns a string containing '$' as the currency symbol.

I propose to not define a function for one specific currency. Actually,
to display such fixed strings number formats can be used. Applications
that want to support the function should store it as
COM.MICROSOFT.USDOLLAR
