I've added another patch to that ticket for consideration.  It has hex,
oct, intAtBase  (plus padded variants).  Also included are {e,f,g}float
without any padding options.

Padding floats could be touchy - perhaps it should be a separate patch
by someone who would use such a feature and know what they want.

Thoughts?
