/**
* Format a value of any type into a string.
*
* Syntax:
*
* format(value)
* format(value, options)
* format(value, precision)
* format(value, fn)
*
* Where:
*
* {*} value The value to be formatted
* {Object} options An object with formatting options. Available options:
* {String} notation
* Number notation. Choose from:
* 'fixed' Always use regular number notation.
* For example '123.40' and '14000000'
* 'exponential' Always use exponential notation.
* For example '1.234e+2' and '1.4e+7'
* 'auto' (default) Regular number notation for numbers
* having an absolute value between
* `lower` and `upper` bounds, and uses
* exponential notation elsewhere.
* Lower bound is included, upper bound
* is excluded.
* For example '123.4' and '1.4e7'.
* {Number} precision A number between 0 and 16 to round
* the digits of the number.
* In case of notations 'exponential' and
* 'auto', `precision` defines the total
* number of significant digits returned
* and is undefined by default.
* In case of notation 'fixed',
* `precision` defines the number of
* significant digits after the decimal
* point, and is 0 by default.
* {Object} exponential An object containing two parameters,
* {Number} lower and {Number} upper,
* used by notation 'auto' to determine
* when to return exponential notation.
* Default values are `lower=1e-3` and
* `upper=1e5`.
* Only applicable for notation `auto`.
* {Function} fn A custom formatting function. Can be used to override the
* built-in notations. Function `fn` is called with `value` as
* parameter and must return a string. Is useful for example to
* format all values inside a matrix in a particular way.
*
* Examples:
*
* format(6.4); // '6.4'
* format(1240000); // '1.24e6'
* format(1/3); // '0.3333333333333333'
* format(1/3, 3); // '0.333'
* format(21385, 2); // '21000'
* format(12.071, {notation: 'fixed'}); // '12'
* format(2.3, {notation: 'fixed', precision: 2}); // '2.30'
* format(52.8, {notation: 'exponential'}); // '5.28e+1'
*
* @param {*} value Value to be stringified
* @param {Object | Function | Number} [options]
* @return {String} str The formatted value
