I did not pretend it was. I just gave the example of the text-entry
mask as a feature I'm about to add. For your specific need, maybe
another "option" will be necessary, but, if that is the case, adding
it will be a matter of writing the code as all the "glue code" to
declare the option will be there (with the test-entry mask option).

BTW, what is exactly your requirement regarding number presentation
(maybe I can code it all at once)?

Cheers,

Vivien
