you can input numbers with "_" as sort of a thousands separator, so

400_000 == 400000

for output, something like this:
http://rubyforge.org/snippet/detail.php?type=snippe...

If you need anything locale-specific (e.g. switch between "," and "."
depenging on where you are, I'm not aware of anything like python
locale.format or locale.str. Googling shows lots of hits on *local*
vars or whatever. Let us know if you find anything

locale-specific formatting: Numeric#format_s in extensions gives
fine-grained control over currency, thousands separators, negatives,
decimal point, etc

(i knew it was here somehwere, just took a couple days)
