For the formats that presume an integer or float input in C, perhaps
we could coerce to numeric (failing if that fails) and then print
appropriately.  Or maybe int or float8 would be more appropriate
conversion targets.

Don't forget type categories, which could dictate useful defaults.

Best,

David
