[ic] [currency] convert=1 not implicit with alternate locale?!?!?

[currency] should not auto-convert for you.

Consider this:

    [currency]12.34[/currency]

That will format 12.34 into something that looks like a localised
price ($12.34 or £12.34 etc.).  If I want the 12.34 value to be
converted into another currency, rather than just formatted, then
I'll ask the tag to do that for me.

If someone loads an (auto-converted) [item-price] into a scratch and
then used a [calc] to adjust it for whatever reason, they wouldn't
want the [currency] tag to automatically re-convert the price into
what would then be an incorrect value.
