[Python-Dev] PEP 682: Format Specifier for Signed Zero

[John Belmonte]

Just a note that this PEP is being discussed at

  https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-682-format-specifier-for-signed-zero

TLDR; When formatting a number (especially with rounding options), often
you don't want negative-signed zero as an output.  A format spec extension
enables normalizing such values to positive zero.

I wasn't aware of this thread, but that's exactly what I implemented for
3.11.0b4.

About this thread-- I understand debating solutions, but there was at least
an agreement here about the problem.  For visibility, it would have been
better to open an issue than let the topic drop.  (When filing the issue, I
was wondering "how can I be alone thinking this is a problem?"-- then was
surprised to see the support come out for the change.)
