    >Description:

    The C printf() function allows specifying a minimum field
    width for integer formats. For example, %5d will print a
    decimal number in 5 characters (unless it doesn't fit).

    Verilog does not support this capability in its $display
    format. However, VCS supports some subset of it. As a
    result, we have been asked to support it also. I would
    like to propose that this be added to the standard.
