This shouldn't be too bad, particularly if the canonical
version is reasonably nice.  Can we exploit the current locale to
automatically have the canonical version be something that "looks
right" to the user.  If we use things like sprintf, we get that
for free, right?

Maybe something like a "void resize(size_t N, double default=0.0)"
would be a nice compromise here.

I'm leaving town for a few days tomorrow, but I promise that I'll
clean that stuff out after I get back.
