What are the chances of getting commands like "silver" and "check balance" or "read bankbook" to display the appropriate amount of silvers, and actually utilize commas as necessary to separate thousands, millions, etc.

For example,

You study your current bank balances...

River's Rest: 10000 silvers
Isle of the Four Winds Bank: 213969 silvers

Your total silvers: 223969

would become:

You study your current bank balances...

River's Rest: 10,000 silvers
Isle of the Four Winds Bank: 213,969 silvers

Your total silvers: 223,969

Sure would make it easier to look at the note I mean to withdrawl for 2500000 and be able to read it as 2,500,000 silvers.

Although, you can plainly see I'm not that much of a baller as indicated by my bankbook above.

Thanks,

GSL doesn't support commas!

They certainly do not, indeed, I remember using commas many times in essays and such, and never once did my sentences run on, why they were paragons of terseness and pithiness, which qualities by the way, I learned the virtue of while studying English composition in college, a subject in which I excelled far more than the average matriculant, whom I surpassed in all respects, and furthermore, I can definitively state that
