Description

Will need this soon, there are some existing libraries to do this for strings/numbers(search package site for number format), maybe just point users that way?

But at the very least I'll need something to strip trailing zeros(and the decimal point if necessary) & to truncate/round/expand to n-decimal places(just 2 at first).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Evaluate existing Elm number formatting libraries and decide whether to delegate to them or implement custom string formatting functions for trailing zero stripping and decimal rounding.
