unformat with the decimal specified to deal with decimal for thousands

After looking into this issue it is apparent that the intended usage of formatMoney does not securely allow for number to be passed as a string. Numbers which use "." as a thousand separator must be wrapped in quotes, since JavaScript will not correctly interpret a number such as 1.234,56. The proposed fix may not be reliable since options to formatMoney can be passed either individually:

formatMoney( number, "R$", 2, ".", ",", "%s %v" ); // 6 arguments

... or, as an object:

formatMoney( number, {
  symbol: "R$",
  precision: 2,
  thousand: ".",
  decimal: ",",
  format: "%s %v"
} ); // 2 arguments

I believe the best work around for currencies which use ".' as a thousand separator is this two step process:

// Manually unformat the number passed as a string:
var number = accounting.unformat( "1.234,56", "," ); // number => 1234.56

// Pass the unformatted number to formatMoney with appropriate options:
accounting.formatMoney(number, {
  symbol: "R$",
  thousand: ".",
  decimal: ",",
  format: "%s %v"
}); // "R$ 1.234,56"
