It would be interesting to have a few basic functions for converting Numbers to a String.

There are several packages dealing with (pretty) printing of numbers already:

• purescript-number-format (@Jonplussed) - exports some available methods from JavaScript (toExponential, toFixed, toPrecision) and defines a few convenient helper functions (toString, toHexString, ..).
• purescript-format (@sharkdp) - pretty printing of integers and numbers, Monoid-based interface for defining the style.
• purescript-formatters (@slamdata) - more ambitious project, also does date/time formatting.

In my opinion, merging purescript-number-format into this package or implementing a similar functionality would be the best option. The API of purescript-format is probably "too opinionated" for a low-level module like this.

What do you think?
