Thousands separator can't be formatted

Hi there,

Probably another Vega related issue. If you prefer, I can not create any more of these Writer related tickets for the moment.

From what I can understand, it's not possible to get rid of the comma thousands separator.

If you try the attached basic.csv and try to format the Year breaks, it stays the same. According to Claude Code, this happens because "Vega's default formatter runs first, adding the thousand-separator". I couldn't find a workaround for this.

FROM basic
VISUALISE
DRAW point MAPPING Year AS x, Users AS y
SCALE x RENAMING * => '{:num %.1f}'
SCALE y RENAMING * => '{:num %.1f}'

Screenshot, should be "2016" instead of "2,016:
"
basic.csv
