A sign display strategy to use accounting principles.

```
static var accounting: CurrencyFormatStyleConfiguration.SignDisplayStrategy { get }
```

## Discussion

This strategy always shows the currency symbol, and shows negative values in parenthesis. Examples of this strategy include `$123`, `$0`, and `($123)`.
