Bug#282618: gcalctool: no digit grouping in binary/octal/hex mode

[Marius Mikucionis]

Package: gcalctool
Version: 4.4.20-1
Severity: wishlist

There is a thousand separator in decimal mode, but working in binary mode is 
really tricky if one has to count digits of 16bit integer...
I propose to have digit grouping option for these modes and put space 
(or thousand) separator between groups, e.g. group by 4 digits in binary mode 
(since they mean one digit in hexadecimal mode) and group by 2 digits in 
hexadecimal mode since 2 digits mean a byte.
A generalization of this option could be a user-defined group length 
(e.g. selectable from a range of 1 to 8 binary digits, where 1 means no 
grouping).
