Must have been added by someone else after I worked on it.  I thought
about that issue but felt that that was the wrong solution.  The
problem is that the same data displays differently depending on who
runs the query.

I would have rather made that part of the column definition similar to
how we create timestamps with or without timezones.  If a column is
tracking Yen it should always be Yen.  Y10,000 should never display as
$100.00 just because the locale changes.
