enable formatting numbers with natural language suffixes, k(ilo), M(illion), B(illion)

Plotly doesn't currently let me format numbers, e.g. in hover templates, in "human" or "business" form, by which I mean essentially SI representation but with the suffix replacements k->k(ilo) M->M(illion), G->B(illion), T->T(trillion),.... (by pure luck, this is really just one necessary replacement in the range I've listed).

The reason seems to be that plotly relies on d3-format, which claims to "format numbers for human consumption" but misses the one format non-technically trained humans can actually consume at ease.

However, oddly plotly does use the "human readable" form by default for the X and Y columns in default hover displays, even when they're included in the hover templates manually as %{y}, but not for custom data included via %{customdata[0]} (see the MWE below). This in some sense makes this a bug: You want to include two columns of data in the same way, using the same format specifier, but you get different results.

Instead of waiting on d3, I would like to make this feature request: I believe plotly should default for custom data to the same formatting it uses by default elsewhere (including axes labels), unless a format specifier is explicitly listed, thus increasing consistency.

Example: Despite using text=y and hovertemplate ='%{y}<br>%{text}', I get different representations:

import plotly.graph_objects as go
y = [2, 100000, 2000000, 2000000000]
fig = go.Figure(go.Scatter(
    x = [1,2,3,4],
    y = y,
    text = y,
    hovertemplate ='%{y}<br>%{text}'
))
fig.show()

Comienza rastreando cómo se formatean los valores de hovertemplate, especialmente %{y}, %{text} y %{customdata[0]}, y cómo se utiliza d3-format para los ejes y los hovers predeterminados. Compara el comportamiento existente con el ejemplo y, a continuación, define pruebas que demuestren que los datos personalizados siguen el formato predeterminado, a menos que se proporcione un especificador de formato explícito, incluidos los sufijos solicitados en lenguaje natural.
