For non-negative numbers, I think 04d does what the original verbose
code did.  0.4d for an integer isn't valid in an f-string.  With
old-style formatting and negative numbers, 0.4d pads differently than
04d, and the original verbose code appears to be plain wrong, formatting
-1 as "00-1" if I'm not mistaken.

Yes, and the separate processes use more machine resources which is why
low end hosting places prefer PHP.
