Subject: Re: format number with comma separators?

I've created a "very" robust version that can handle differing separators, 
decimal points, digit group sizes, and negative formats. It also supports 
grouping the fractional part of a decimal number. Note that the way that I 
have written this, a value of "nil" for any value will produce the default 
value. Thus, you can do:

12345.5555.format_s(nil, nil, nil, nil,true) # => 12,345.555,5

There is a full set of unit tests for this.

I've posted it at: http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?FixNumFormat
