	Property: numberFormat
		Format a number with grouped thousands.

	Arguments:
		decimals, optional - integer, number of decimal percision; default, 2
		dec_point, optional - string, decimal point notation; default, '.'
		thousands_sep, optional - string, grouped thousands notation; default, ','

	Returns:
		a formatted version of number.

	Example:
		>(36432.556).numberFormat()  // returns 36,432.56
		>(36432.556).numberFormat(2, '.', ',')  // returns 36,432.56
