Hi internals.
Following a brief discussion on the behaviour of number_format()
last year
I'd like to start discussion around an RFC to bring consistency to negative
zero.
When number_format()
is passed -0 it doesn't display the negative sign,
however if it's passed something that rounds to -0 then it does display the
negative sign.

I believe these two operations should yield the same result. The RFC takes
the stance that the rounding version should be changed to never display -0,
but I'm open to hearing arguments to change number_format()
to always
display the negative sign when it's working with a negative number.

Thanks,

Just a reminder that I'll be putting the following RFC to vote in a few
days.

I presume the silence is due to there being no more objections, so I look
forward to the vote.
Thanks,
Craig
