Greetings.
I have been trying, for more than an hour, to get information on how
to format a number (2342.23) to $2,342.23.
Just wondering, where have you been searching for this information?
I can write a little function to do this, but doesn't format already
has this builtin?

If the documentation
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/phobos/std_format.html
is to go by, there doesn't seem to be any such feature, and a quick look
through the code doesn't reveal one either.
But there are many things std.format doesn't do. I'd imagine that
someone's written a more powerful number formatting library module, but
I don't know of it. Maybe that someone'll find this thread and
enlighten us.
I believe Tango has an extensive locale library which does this sort of
thing.
