    Formatting numbers.

    @param source : Numerical or string representation
           of an unformatted (but maybe rounded) floating point or integer number.
    @param spec : Formatting option. Currently there are
           "at", "comma", "de", "dewiki", "de_currency", "ch", "ch_currency", "en",
           "iso31_0", "iso31_0_point" and "pc" supported.
           Defaults to "dewiki".
           See the FORMAT_TABLE for details.
    @param meet : HTML padding on left or right end.
           Defaults to 'none' or 0.
           Positive figures require padding behind decimal mark,
           negative values ensure at least that absolute value
           of characters before decimal mark.

    @return String of the formatted number.
            If the argument 'spec' is invalid
            or 'source' is not a valid string representation of a number,
            'source' is returned unmodified.
