Chinese and Japanese don't really use numeric group separators

[timmcintosh]

Hi Adam,

Thank you and other contributors for developing this library. Chinese (simplified and traditional) and Japanese users don't really use numeric group separators . It's more of a western language thing. Besides, they actually group every 4 numbers, not every 3 numbers. Is there any convenient way we can handle this? Thank you.

East Asian numerals are formatted 7,0000,0000 if digit separators are used at all. And the "abbreviation" labels (they are actually full-form representations of the numerals) should also be used for every factor of 10^4 instead of 10^3.

Presently, the labels are 千 - thousand ; should be removed 百万 - (hundred)(ten thousand) ; should be refactored to 万 (ten thousand) 十亿 - (ten)(hundred million) ; should be refactored to 亿 (hundred million) 兆 - short trillion ; this is correct

In a similar vein, Indian numerals are formatted 7,00,00,00,000. Yes, the least significant group is different in length from the rest.

There are several assumptions made that completely break quite a number of locales. (Another issue that comes to mind is that ordinals in many languages depend on grammatical context, such as grammar or case, that they appear in.)
