Visual Aides - Numeric Separators

[Minions]

Why not create the option to change how the data is viewed on screen, similar to formatting in Excel or the Calculator function?

This could also be used for a hex display (I.E. FFFF FFFF), octal or even binary.  Options could be expanded to include how many characters before separation and what to use as a separator.

I'd prefer this as a formatting code in the "display format" settings.

This would probably\hopefully also add it (automatically?) to the Format Into String and Scan From String as well, as they use the same formatting. I'm not sure if that formatting is based on some standard, I think it's not exactly the same as C\C++ formatting...
