Perhaps @vasturiano would have some ideas on how to approach integration with other forces. I'm not familiar enough with the work to advise as to whether that's possible or how...

There's also the API considerations. Have you tried implementing it in d3-force? Any PR in the works?

I have no say as to whether it gets merged or not. Looks good to me at a high level, but I have not considered all the details and rammifications...

For example, English locale: ``` test.equal(f(0), "zero"); test.equal(f(1), "one"); test.equal(f(2), "two"); test.equal(f(3), "three"); test.equal(f(4), "four"); test.equal(f(5), "five"); test.equal(f(6), "six"); test.equal(f(7), "seven"); test.equal(f(8), "eight"); test.equal(f(9), "nine"); test.equal(f(10), "ten"); test.equal(f(11), "eleven"); ......

FWIW replacing "G" with "B" in formatters is something I end up doing _frequently_. It would be great to have somthing with that baked in.

What might a solution look like? Perhaps a new thing that is similar to `s`, but a different letter? Perhaps ```js const formatter = number => format('.1s')(number).replace('G', 'B'); ``` could...
