    Description

      Since (maybe 5.15 but probably) 6.0 QLocale has used accountancy formats by default in currency formatting, principally because these more consistently support a distinct format for negative amounts. However, accountants' ways of representing negative amounts are not always understood by the general public, so this may be considered confusing for some use-cases (see QTBUG-89383 for examples).

      Add a separate API for accounting formatting of currency amounts, revert the plain currency amounts to use the standard format and document the limitations of the latter.
