The current formatting mini-language provisions left/right/center alignment, prefixes for 0b 0x 0o, and rules on when to show the
plus-sign. I think it would be far more useful to provision a simple way of specifying a thousands separator.
Financial users in particular find the locale approach to be frustrating and non-obvious. Putting in a thousands separator is a
common task for output destined to be read by non-programmers.
