I say, "I dunno".  :-)  It seems to follow C's printf(3) conversion
specification.  If a decimal point is needed for a float, it must also
have a digit in front of the decimal point.  This is kind of annoying if
I want to print decimal-only values without preceding zeroes.  Maybe
money_format() is a better solution.

: BTW, what's the 1 used for?

Specifies the minimum character width of the conversion.  See PHP's
sprintf() docs for more details.
