Is there a reason to not make trim_zeros a bool?

I initially chose string values to make the intent more explicit in code (e.g., trim_zeros="trim" reads clearly), but a bool would be simpler. I'm happy to change it to 'trim_zeros=False' to keep trailing zeros (i.e., default) and 'trim_zeros=True' to trim trailing zeros. Would you prefer this bool approach?

Move to the block "# Determine format string based on digits or places" so that all the logic is in one place.
