4:06 PM Ticket #3717 (StringFormat doesn't format int64 integers correctly) updated by jchd18

I got hit by this bug again, so I get back to this ticket. I don't get why it is so difficult to check what internal equivalent of VarGetType() says about the variable in case of integral formats d, i, o, u, x, X and print accordingly that 32- or 64-bit numeric value. This way we still enjoy the possibility of flag and precision associated with these integral formats. Of course, we can work around by using %s for everything and work out the flag and precision desired, but this is overly complicated compared to simply act according to (internal) VarGetType.
