    Helper class for formatting and parsing numbers with thousands separators.

    but directly call the member functions.

            return just "123" for any precision.

        flags in which case the call to the function has exactly the same
        effect as <code>wxString::Format("%ld", val)</code>.

        Notice that calling ToString() with a value of type @c int and
        non-default flags results in ambiguity between this overload and the
        one below. To resolve it, you need to cast the value to @c long.
