I18n Issues

Sometimes people set this initially to lock out locale sensitive behavior. This method is for use with formatters using NSNumberFormatterBehavior10_0 behavior. While the currency-symbol part of this feature may be useful in certain types of applications, possibly you would tie a particular application to a particular currency (that is, "hard-code" the currency symbol and separators instead of having them dynamically change based on the user's configuration).
Resolution: Analyze desired behavior.

Generally one needs to pass in locale, encoding or language to ensure that any culture-dependent conversion is done properly. If you determine that the call is i18n-safe, you can use Globalyzer's Ignore Comment functionality to ensure that it isn't picked up in a subsequent scan.
