Extend number format to use string instead of number

[xgenvn]

Due to the limitation of the javascript number format. Even with Intl API we still couldn't format a very large number, eg: feature: "integers out of (1e21, 1e-7)" Can I extend or add a plugin to use decimal.js (or an alternative) as a numeric wrapper?

A plugin using BigInt (or its polyfil) would be welcome. Thanks!

PS: Either a plugin or a change that has little impact on footprint.

@rxaviers Thanks for the response. Is there any plan for keeping the project alive so far, at least moving away from bower and grunt which are not considered mainstream anymore? I'm asking if the work for the external number formatting library can be put into the new version instead.

A library modernization is definitely welcome too. Thank you!

Is this still of interest @rxaviers? I use this excellent library very frequently for my work. I'd be happy to contribute to its modernization.
