   I took my clues from the code Terje posted, which seemed to indicate that   
   anything goes (not actually outputting anything, non-terminated string,   
   inline). :-)   
      
   And alas, as I'm using an assembler that doesn't tell me anything ...   
      
   Should the sign be on the left   
   Should only the negative sign be displayed or both.   
      Should the positive sign be replaced by a space   
   Should the string be put into a buffer   
      Should it than be either zero or "$' terminated   
      Should the string-end position be returned and if so in which register   
   Should it be send to STDOUT   
   Should it be a function or in-line   
   ... any other relevant specs I've not mentioned
