Bug description: Enable MessageFormatter to select custom currency
Description:
------------
Feature Request for the intl extension
The MessageFormatter is capable of formatting a number in a currency
format. This is only marginally useful because it always uses the
currency symbol for the locale given to it.
It probably wouldn't be uncommon to want to display a currency in your
own currency format, but using a different currency symbol.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$msgfmt = MessageFormatter::create('nl_NL', 'Price (USD):
{0,number,currency}');
/* I'm assuming the format {0,number,currency} is not editable to
something like {0,number,currency,USD} because it is defined in a
underlying library. So I propose the following new method: */
$msgfmt->setCurrency('USD');
echo $msgfmt->format(array(15.95));
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Price (USD): $ 15,00
Actual result:
--------------
(without the imagined setCurrency call)
Price (USD): 15,00
