[regardning "picture" output format specifiers]

I was thinking that there was a built-in function for this
common(?) use case

I haven't seen that paradigm since my one-and-only exposure to
COBOL in a class I took back in 1979.  Is the "picture" thing
commonly used in other places than COBOL?


FWIW, Microsoft Excel supports "Custom" numeric cell formats that use a PICTURE-like syntax.
