You are right about an uppercase converter. I forget this. I withdraw this proposition. It seems that even if we add support of "N" to all numeric formatting it will not cover all use cases. "n" is a locale specific variant of "g", but other formats could have locale specific variants too. In C all numeric formatting is locale specific. Maybe add a flag which makes any numeric formatting locale specific? Then "n" will became obsolete.
