Subject: [ruby-core:93840] [Ruby master Feature#16011] Digit grouping

Issue #16011 has been updated by duerst (Martin D�rst).


Just for the record:

- What to use as thousands separator is locale-dependent. It can be a comma (US), a dot (Germany), an apostrophe (Switzerland), a space (Sweden; usually a narrow-width, non-breaking space), and so on.
- Some locales don't use thousands separators, and the separators don't have to come in regular intervals (e.g. Hindi).

Ruby seems to have no way to format a number with grouped thousands. I see Rails
has an option:

    require 'active_support/all'
    1234.to_s(:delimited)

However in this case it seems that grouping cannot be combined with say, leading
zeros:

https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/36707

This is quite simple with other languages, for example JavaScript:

    (1234).toLocaleString(0, {minimumIntegerDigits: 7});
    "0,001,234"

Python:

    >>> format(1234, '08,')
    '0,001,234'

Go:

    package main
    import "golang.org/x/text/language"
    import "golang.org/x/text/message"
    func main() {
       message.NewPrinter(language.English).Printf("%07d\n", 1234)
       // 0,001,234
    }
