but not
| 02.4   |

| 17.44  |
or any other solutions with leading zeros.

I have this one:

----
import std.stdio;
import std.string, std.algorithm, std.format;

void main(string[] args)
{
     [2.4, 12.2, 8.131, 17.44].each!(a => format("%.3f", a)
         .rightJustify(6).center(8).center(10,'|').writeln);
}
----

But only works if fractional and integral part are both up to 3 
digits.

Also try "%.3g".
