                     21: prints a sequence of numbers, one per line, from

                     27: (default 1).
                     28: The numbers are interpreted as floating point.
                     29: .PP
                     30: Normally integer values are printed as decimal integers.

                     43: Equalize the widths of all numbers by padding with
                     44: leading zeros as necessary.
                     45: Not effective with option
