An AS equivalent to printf would be nice, but it seems to me that extending
the round command might be better, because I suspect most rounding is done
preparatory to display/storage as a string. So a form like:
round x decimal places 2 with zero padding as text
might fit the bill, without the need to add another command (and call to a
scripting addition).
