hi nando,
I think there could be application code using the currency() method
(maybe here in RiskMap we use it, I can't remember), so maybe we
could:
* overload the constructor, providing a "currencyless" constructor
and throw an exception from the currency() method iff currency_ ==
INVALID_CURRENCY (we could add an INVALID_CURRENCY item to the
Currency enum, in case it doesn't break other stuff)
* provide a default currency value (I would'n like it btw).
what do you think?
ciao,
enrico
