If people really want it, there's another way :-)

replace all the calls to printf/sprintf which output equities/mwc,
etc. with calls to a wrapper function say equity_printf() and
equity_sprintf().

Introduce new format string escapes 
%E and %R for evaluation and rollout floating point printouts.

The wrapper function builds a new format string, copying the input one
and substituting the %E and %R with the user chosen formats, then
calls the original function.

I am not planning to implement this.
