Configure number_separator for minimum length for either side of decimal

[bjarkehs]

I ran into this while working on a project using coordinates. While I would like the minimum length of 5, it should apply to either side of the decimal.

So taking the example from #1109 I find 1000.01 more readable than 1_000.01 or 10.0003 more readable than 10.000_3

Maybe even be able to ignore after the decimal.

Is this something others would be interested in as well? Because then I'd look into making a PR.

I think that makes sense. Feel free to send a PR! 💯

I just realized while looking at the code that this is actually how it works. This is an oversight/a case of the mondays.

I have another idea, and please tell me if this is not really useful or too specific. I'm also not entirely sure on the naming/api.

But let's say I want to have a minimum length of 5 for everything before decimal, so as #1109 suggests: 10000 becomes 10_000 but 1000 stays the same. But at the same time I want my decimals to be split at a later point. So my code could look like this:

let number = 10_000
let coord = 56.00529
let coord2 = 57.045_423_2

The configuration could be something like

number_separator:
  minimum_length: 5
  minimum_fraction_length: 7

That was what I thought you ment in the original issue 😅

Haha, cool. I'll do that then.

I was thinking of ways to specify it better, but any other would break current API I guess.

This should be sufficient anyway.
