Allow specific currencies

Currently, using a message like Your total is: {amount, number, currency} can only support USD (Since that's the default in Twitter's CLDR lib[0]).

I'm unsure of the best way to add this functionality (I'm no ruby pro), but it'd be quite helpful.

Until then, it's decently easy to just pass in a Twitter CLDR formatted currency as a string, but it'd be cool to do all in one spot!

Thanks!

I'm no ruby pro either. :) I added custom formats to the related JavaScript library a while back, so I can certainly take a look at making them work here as well.

I've got a bunch of competing priorities right now, though, so if you'd like to try to implement it in a pull request, you can probably get it sooner.

I'll see what I can do. I think I'd classify this as a bug, since trying to format EUR or CAD currencies through the currency number helper will output incorrect values, but it probably doesn't matter what the label is.

One could imagine making a context for it, equivalent to I18n.locale, but for currency:

I18n.with_currency(:CAD) do
    # Calls to `format` in this block use CAD.
    # ...
end

Of course, that has all of the limitations that I18n.locale has:

• You'd only be able a single currency for the entire message
• You have to be careful around concurrency

Perhaps we can start looking forward to using ICU MessageFormat v2 instead.
