Just wondering, where have you been searching for this information?

If the documentation
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/phobos/std_format.html
is to go by, there doesn't seem to be any such feature, and a quick look 
through the code doesn't reveal one either.

But there are many things std.format doesn't do.  I'd imagine that 
someone's written a more powerful number formatting library module, but 
I don't know of it.  Maybe that someone'll find this thread and 
enlighten us.
