One of use case of mine: a repository card.

Not sure if I put this function into the right place/package.

How would I use this with the lang.FormatSomething functions? Each of these functions returns a string. I imagine in some locales you might want 12,3 kb instead of 12.3 kb.

Maybe this should be lang.FormatNumberSI, and possibly create derivatives of lang.FormatNumberCustom and lang.FormatCurrency as well.

I suggest closing this PR and opening a proposal to work out the details.

Haven't thought about this.

Done, create a topic on forum, which might be visible to much more developers.

Close PR for now.
