While I'm at it, it makes no sense to me to pad numbers with anything other
than whitespace or zero. (BTW: I have never liked the new format() stuff,
so I will be sticking with %-formatting as long as it exists in Python. My

Hi,
I'm in the process of implementing formatting in my C-decimal module.
Since testing is quite time consuming, I would appreciate a binding
decision on how the following should be formatted:
>>> from decimal import *
>>> format(float(1234), '020,g')
'0,000,000,000,001,234'
>>> format(float(1234
