- *
- *        A string containing the symbol that shall be used as the decimal
- *        delimiter (radix character) in numeric, non-monetary formatted
- *        quantities. This property cannot be omitted and cannot be set to the

- *
- *        A string containing the symbol that shall be used as a separator for
- *        groups of digits to the left of the decimal delimiter in numeric,
- *        non-monetary formatted monetary quantities.
- *
- *
- *        @param {String} properties.grouping
- *
- *        Defines the size of each group of digits in formatted non-monetary
- *        quantities. The operand is a sequence of integers separated by
- *        semicolons. Each integer specifies the number of digits in each group,
- *        with the initial integer defining the size of the group immediately
- *        preceding the decimal delimiter, and the following integers defining
- *        the preceding groups. If the last integer is not -1, then the size of

- *        Each integer specifies the number of digits in each group, with the
- *        initial integer defining the size of the group preceding the
- *        decimal delimiter, and the following integers defining the
- *        preceding groups. If the last integer is not -1, then the size of
