OK, but I am a bit uncertain about how such a patch should handle the #:min-width parameter. See, ~r now gives longer strings for negative numbers, #:min-widths being equal. > (~r (- pi) #:precision '(= 2) #:min-width 5) "- 3.14" > (~r pi #:precision '(= 2) #:min-width 5) " 3.14" Is that intentional too? With the sign attached to the number, such behavior will be - unnatural, because characters to the left and to the right from the sign account for #:min-width, while the sign itself does not - much surprising to C and Fortran users What do you think will be a good interface here? You can suggest an extension of interface to ~r and I will try and spend a couple of hours writing a patch.
