See etc/NEWS 'Numbers formatted via...'
I don't understand the "bignums, a planned feature." in that entry.
It makes it sound like bignum will be implemented in future, but they
already are?
Also the sense of the entry seems backwards, since binary-as-unsigned is
nil by default (but from editfns.c I see "it depends").
Anyway, it seems like the doc the 'format' function wasn't updated.
