It’s the `formatters` option. I think it applies to all `<: Number` types, and `Bool <: Number`.

You can define a small helper function which checks if something is a `Bool` and if so, returns that thing, and if not uses `@sprintf`, like in [this thread](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/converting-a-double-number-into-a-string-not-printing/65492).
