Aubit 4GL SVN-Code

Thirty formats now render identically to the C runtime, checked by a new
probe. Padding is significant here, so values are bracketed and compared
exactly rather than trimmed.

Four rules the probe corrected me on, all of which look wrong coming
from another language:

0 is a LITERAL, not a digit placeholder - the zero-fill character is &.
"###,##0.00" is valid in Oracle and means something else entirely in
4GL, and the C is right to render 1234.5 as 12,340.00 for it.

A zero integer part is blank under #: 0 with "###" is three spaces.

Fill is per position, not per field - one & in "##&" does not zero-fill
the other two.

Sign and currency characters occupy digit positions, so "-----" is five
of them; treating them as decoration overflows the field to asterisks.
Parentheses are the exception and never hold a digit. A single sign sits
where the mask puts it, a run of them floats to the first digit.
