missing formats

I'm trying to write an accounting application and am running into some print
formats that I am accustomed to using that are missing in EU. Rob could you
perhaps add these to your enhancements on your next release.

    1. A way to print large dollar figures with commas separating the
thousands.....perhaps "%,10.2d".

    2. In the "general ledger" there is no such things as positive and
negative numbers. there are debits and credits "xxxxx.xx" and "<xxxxx.xx>".
So perhaps "%<10.2d", but then how do you do both commas and "<>"?

    3. It is difficult in long tabular lists to find negative numbers if the
sign is to the left...so often a trailing negative sign is printed making it
a lot easier to find.

Has anyone found solutions to these?
