You know, maybe I'm just European, but when you wrote pound sign, I
immediately thought of British (GBP) pounds: �.
I always looked at that sign as a funky L, which could denote "locked
away" or "local". 

Party line: Break the hegemony the US has! Support other monetary
symbols for special purposes in computer languages!
