Join keys --ignore-leading_zeros comparison suggestion

[datatraveller1]

Similar to the --ignore-case keys string comparison option, I would quite often need an --ignore-leading_zeros option for comparing keys with numbers for a join.
With the help of this --ignore-leading_zerosoption, e.g. 01 and 1 (or 000 and 0 or 0072 and 72) could be matched as the same key for the join.
@jqnatividad Do you think this can be added to join and joinp? (joinp would be more important for me)

Maybe this topic is a bit related to #2358

Great idea!
Added to backlog and quickly implemented, just making it for the 2.0.0 release :)

#2398

Hi @jqnatividad Thank you, sounds great!

P.S. Another thing (not related). Yesterday, I added a comment here: #2369
Maybe you can have a look at the comment, I'm not sure if you get informed about the comment because the issue is already closed.

Hi @jqnatividad, I have added a comment to #2398 - it would be great if you could have a look if it is possible to add --ignore-leading-zeros to the join command, too. Thank you very much! 👍
