The current documentation says:
f: convert a floating-point argument to decimal notation, in the style
dddd.ddd.
F: convert a floating-point argument to Caml syntax (dddd. or dddd.ddd
or d.ddd e+-dd).
e or E: convert a floating-point argument to decimal notation, in the
style d.ddd e+-dd (mantissa and exponent).
g or G: convert a floating-point argument to decimal notation, in
style f or e, E (whichever is more compact).
So, can this bug be closed?
