How about chunk(size) to turn something into chunks. Then you could
combine with join() like so:
[% big_number.chunk(3).join(',') %]
No wait, numbers would need to be chunked from the right, so we could
use a negative index for that:
[% bignum = 1234567 %]
[% bignum.chunk(-3).join(',') %] 1,234,567
[% bignum.chunk(3).join(',') %] 123,456,7
Implementation to follow...
I must admit, for the common case, 'commify' is a lot simpler and
shorter to type, so maybe we could put that in too?
