formatC_mod

Formats a numeric vector similar to <code>formatC</code>, but tweaks output for certain special cases:
- Attempts to remove trailing decimal points for whole numbers.
- If format is 'fg' and output is "0", falls back to fixed format (<code>f</code>).
- Converts exponential notation to plain numbers where appropriate.

Provides functionality that assists in tabular description and statistical comparison of data.
