Basically, will there be any way to create a numeric market, but choose to display the numeric prediction in some format other than a plain number?

For speedrunning-related markets, the format I'd be most interested in personally would be displaying durations as "hours:minutes:seconds". Other things that might be useful would be a date format, or the ability to append a unit to the value ("10 tweets", "26.4 cumquats").

In a perfect world, you'd be able to customize the display in any way you want with Excel-like formulas and string formatting calls, but that's probably quite complicated to implement and raises security concerns. So a few options for common predefined formats would be perfectly reasonable too.

Resolves YES if the market creation interface allows creators to format the result of numeric markets in at least two ways other than a plain number. (This also applies if there are two or more distinct market types such as "Date" added, as long as they're basically just predicting single numbers.) Resolves NO otherwise. I will not be betting in this market.
