Each integer specifies the number of digits in a group. The first
integer defines the size of the group immediately to the left of the
decimal delimiter. Subsequent integers define succeeding groups to the
left of the previous group. If the last integer is not -1, then the size
of the previous group (if any) is repeatedly used for the remainder of
the digits. If the last integer is -1, then no further grouping is
performed.
