I just sent the email with the signed CLA for my company.
The company's name is Soluciones 3f SRL.

I'm guessing that's it. Please, @mary-poppins, let me know if I need to do something else.

I updated the title to reflect the changes

I think this could be combined with #5672

Yes @petebacondarwin, you might be right. I think I should also update the tests... I'll do it soon!

"My" fix is much "easier", since I was trying to reproduce the behavior of the numberFormat, #5672 does some aditional behavior, which I dont entirely agree with.

If you look at the code, #5672 does not 'extend' behavior. It make code that was already there doing nothing actually get run. I just made the original intent not broken.

Also I totally already did this and wrote tests for it in #5674.

@park9140 you are right. I didn't see that pr. Closing this as a duplicate of #5674

Let's hope angular folks add the feature! ;) @park9140 @petebacondarwin 👯
