Have format into string/scan from string accept arrays, just like older conversion VIs

Status: New

I didn't see this elsewhere--sorry if its a duplicate. Basically, the old string->number and number->string conversion VIs are capable of accepting arrays. This is pretty great. I like it. However, I also know that it is generally a better idea to use the more fully-featured Scan From String and Format Into String functions. The problem is that these functions do not accept arrays. I know the functions are slightly different, so I wouldn't consider this a bug, but it is definitely a usability feature I would love to have. Picture below. Thanks.
