Issue 2269:  Add text for formatter that the format string will be used for parsing                                                                                                                                 (currency-rtf)

Nature:  Revision
Severity:  Significant
Summary: Summary: Add text for formatter that the format string will be used for parsing.  
 Clarify the formatting string and how it is used.  
 This way the parser routine will use:  M##,###.00 to help it parse:  RUR10,00  
 This also means the radix character was set to: "," and the grouping symbol was set to: "."  
 Show an example to distinguish between what the pattern gives you and what the actually settings of the characters give you.
 

Resolution: resolved in Currency 2 RTF
Revised Text: Resolution: Change text in spec., this was always an assumed behaviour, but needs to be added to spec to make it more clear.
Revised Text: In section 2.3.12.4  after the last paragraph add the following paragraph:
The MoneyFromatter will use the pattern values, symbol values, and format specification for the given stateIdentifier to parse moneyString.  Suppose that the MoneyFormatter is to parse moneyString = "RUR10,00" for a given stateIdentifier.  Now suppose that the format specification for this stateIdentifier is "M##,###.00" and that the radix symbol is ",".  All of that informathion is necessary to produce a Money object that represents 10 Russian Rubles (with a precision of 2).
