Number Layout in SQL Window

Would it be possible to have a slightly more flexible number layout. For example, it would be good to have key columns without the thousand separator but facts with them.

I'm not sure how best to identify these different types of columns.

One idea would be to have a separate option for aggregates (within the SQL) but obviously this won't cover facts without aggregates.

Another idea would to be have an exceptions to the Number Layout, based on column name, with or without wildcards. For example I would set the Number Layout to be Formatted with thousand separator but with an exception of *KEY to with Formatted.

I don't know how feasible/easy this would be or if you have any other ideas of how to make it more flexible, but this would be very useful.
 
I have added this to the list of enhancement requests. Note that you can already do this in the Report Window. It allows you to explicitly specify the format for each individual field.
