-- Work in progress. Interesting is that compared to the built-in this is faster in
-- luatex than in luajittex where we have a comparable speed. It only makes sense
-- to use the formatter when a (somewhat) complex format is used a lot. Each formatter
-- is a function so there is some overhead and not all formatted output is worth that
-- overhead. Keep in mind that there is an extra function call involved. In principle
-- we end up with a string concatination so one could inline such a sequence but often
-- at the cost of less readabinity. So, it's a sort of (visual) compromise. Of course
-- there is the benefit of more variants. (Concerning the speed: a simple format like
-- %05fpt is better off with format than with a formatter, but as soon as you put
-- something in front formatters become faster. Passing the pt as extra argument makes
-- formatters behave better. Of course this is rather implementation dependent. Also,
-- when a specific format is only used a few times the overhead in creating it is not
-- compensated by speed.)
