mdb has a very useful format character – R – for printing out a number as binary:

> abc022119=R
                101010111100000000100010000100011001

Often when printing out binary output, one is looking for specific bit positions (e.g., for decoding a register or other machine state). For these use cases, it's helpful to have fancier output – which, to accommodate the limited available format character space – we call "jazzed-up binary output" and denote with the new j format character:

> ::formats ! grep j
j - jazzed-up binary unsigned long long (8 bytes)
> abc022119=j
                101010111100000000100010000100011001

This has been tested by writing new mdb tests for the functionality (which revealed 11206 and 11207) and then additionally verifying that kmdb works properly.
