I love the commentary this has generated! But I can't resist a tweak of

It would get quite icky if they wanted the untrimmed result. The
positive case would have to add the right amount of leading blanks.

if number < 0;
edited = %editc(number: 'N');
else;
edited = %subst(blanks : 1 : how_many?)
+ '+' + %trim(%editc(number: 'N'));
endif;

c move edited final
c movel '+' final

Old people, am I right? (self-reference) :-)
