window.format = (locale, currency, value) => new Intl.NumberFormat(locale, { style: 'currency', currency }).format(value);

window.memoizedFormat = (locale, currency, value) => {
  const key = [locale, currency];
  let formatter = window.cache.get(key);
  
  if (!formatter) {
    formatter = new Intl.NumberFormat(locale, { style: 'currency', currency });
    window.cache.set(key, formatter);
