There are some edge cases in the format conversion that could present
some issues. For example:
>>> print number_format( 2312753.44500000, 2 )
2,312,753.44
>>> print number_format( 2312753.44500001, 2 )
2,312,753.45
I would expect the first to produce the same results as the second, but,
I suppose because of one of floating point's features, it doesn't work
that way.
