See, I can understand why someone might take the extra step to create a
domain for storing monetary units.  The fact that money is in the
documentation, but contains no notes to explain that it's only there for
backward-compatibility lead me to wonder if it still had relevance, which I
gather it doesn't really.  I'll avoid using it as it only appears to
introduce unnecessary limitations with very little advantages.
