Emacs' `format' has %o, %x, and %d, but it's missing both the ~r and ~b
radix directives from Common Lisp's `format'.
I can understand leaving out ~r, but I think ~b is worth adding to
Emacs' `format'.
CL example:
(format nil "~b" 5) => "101"
Requested:
(format "%b" 5) => "101"

I noticed that while string_to_number supports an arbitrary base,
number_to_string doesn't.
If number_to_string was symmetric in this aspect, then ~b and ~r should
be straightforward to implement, right?
