To do it yourself, probably best to use a temp string value, created by
format "{: f}". (Notice the space before the f, to reserve space for
the sign) Then, slice that value to length 4 . Finally, in your actual
format, use :5s for a format. This should add the blanks for padding,
so other columns still line up.
