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

[ffevotte]

Humanize.jl could help with thousands separator for integers, but I don’t think it handles floats out of the box (except in the specific case of data sizes):

julia> using Humanize
julia> Humanize.digitsep(123456)
"123,456"

Also see these threads dealing with the same topic:

Is it possible for Julia to print numeric output in the REPL with underscores as digit separators?

Say I need to compute the size of a cross join before attempting it. My eyes aren’t great. julia> 1_000*144*30*20*15*18 23328000000 Wait, how many 0s are there? julia> ans==2_332_800_000 false Urgh. Can I just see the output with the _ in the first place? Then I could also nicely copy and paste it into future computations.

Add support for ' (thousands separator) for Printf

Printf, even after the (very nice) rewrite, does not support the ' thousands separator flag (it is a GNU extension). Would a PR adding that be accepted? It’s very nice funcionality to have in practice.
