Its got nothing to do with rounding but is purely about 
formatting. However I don't know of any way to do that 
without actually manipulating the string at a character level.

Probably because its an extremely BAD thing to do 
- it makes decimal numbers very hard to read and your output 
therefore very error prone...

I doubt it, I just doubt that anyone ever considered 
providing such a thing.
