The current specification for the format spec is: [[fill]align][sign][#][0][width][grouping_option][.precision][type] Let's say we change it to: [[fill]align][sign][#][*|$][0][width][grouping_option][.precision][type] ... Let's call the new [*|$] character the "locale character". +1
I'm not married to '*' for LC_NUMERIC, although I think '$' makes sense for LC_MONETARY. If the "locale character" would be placed behind (or just infront of) the type, it would be possible to use '#' instead of '*' as modifier, which - for my taste - is a better fit for LC_NUMERIC .
Syntax would be [[fill]align][sign][#][0][width][grouping_option][.precision][type][#|$] or [[fill]align][sign][#][0][width][grouping_option][.precision][#|$][type]
