Looking for ONE package, to do BASIC number formatting for console-text-output

you have to do something like:

println("float: $(sprintf1("%5.3'f", xFloat)) & integer: $(sprintf1("%'d", xInt)) (Formatting.sprintf1)")

There might be a better way, but the following approach seems preferable:

using Formatting
fm1 = generate_formatter("%5.3'f")
fm2 = generate_formatter("%'d")
x, y = π*1e9, 3141592654
printfmt("float: {1} and integer: {2} (Formatting.sprintf1)", fm1(x), fm2(y))

# Result:
float: 3,141,592,653.590 and integer: 3,141,592,654 (Formatting.sprintf1)
