> I was reviewing MR [1] which got me thinking that we have no standard rules
> for formatting strings. It would be great it there was uniform mechanism that
> we can train users on to build strings from fields or numbers which ability to
> specify precision etc.
> 
> I've seen fmtlib [2] used before and given that it's formatting syntax is similar
> to that available in Python, it may be a good choice to adopt.
> 
> I am thinking all places were we convert numbers to labels e.g.
> Annotation Time filter/source, Chart titles, Python Annotation filter, etc. can
> support such format strings.

> Thoughts?
