Current behavior
Angular uses the currency formatting extracted from CLDR to format currencies with the currency pipe.
However CLDR also contains formatting rules for currencies used in an accounting context.
see currency-accounting: http://cldr.unicode.org/translation/number-patterns
For example the english accounting standard is to use parentheses to display negative numbers.
This is currently not supported by the currency pipe and as far as i can tell this information is not extracted from CLDR.
Expected behavior
Currency pipe has an option to switch to accounting format (default is non-accounting, as it is now).
What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
Enterprise application which displays currency values in grids.
Environment
Angular version: 6.0.9
