Hmm.. I wonder who made this change, and why?

Well, we now have this nice "options" interface to do this :) The data
would be stored in the Book KVP, but edited via a nice options dialog
out of File -> Properties.  Someone would just need to move the
location where this menu option is created, and add a new page to set
default currencies et. al.   And then change the report-options code.
