[vhdl-200x-ft] to_string for real and time

 From last night's telecon again:

   function to_string (
     VALUE : in REAL;
     JUSTIFIED : in SIDE := right;
     FIELD : in WIDTH := 0;
     format : in string := " "
     ) return STRING ;
Will also accept "f" "e", "E", "g" and "G" notation
(just like the C printf command). Defaults to a 'image
Example "8.3f" for 3.14 will give you " 3.140"
(This should be fun to implement, maybe call the PLI "printf" command)

   function to_string (
     VALUE : in TIME;
     JUSTIFIED : in SIDE := right;
     FIELD : in WIDTH := 0;
     resolution : in TIME := Sim_Resolution
     ) return STRING ;
Where "Sim_Resolution" will be a differed constant comming from package
std.standard.

This if you do a to_string (1.6 us) with a simulator resolution
set to "1 ns" then you will get "1600.0 ns" as the resulting string.
Question though, what do you get if your resolution is "10 ps"?
