Description:
------------
Hi!

It would be nice when the format of the numbers could be more human readable.
Example how it is now:
Allowed memory size of 130000000 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 133600001 
bytes)

Thank you! Peter

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$s = "";

for ( $i = 1 ; $i < 10000 ; $i++ ) {
        $s .= str_repeat("x", 100000);
}
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Suggestion:
Allowed memory size of 130.000.000 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 133.600.001 
bytes)

Integer to string conversion in PHP is fundamental behaviour — we couldn't change this without a massive backward compatibility break (not to mention the additional problem of deciding which of the at least four schemes I know of for digit grouping would be used).

Plus, number_format() already exists for the common cases.

Marking Won't Fix.

I think I did not explain myself understandable. this is the PHP message in the 
error log. it has NOTHING to do with a  massive backward compatibility break nor 
with number_format.
Just with the output in the error log and I think this can be really adapted very 
easy.

Thank you, Peter
