That would help distinguish small percents, but it’s a bit orthogonal
IMO since there’s still the question of how it’s rounded. If the
percent cookie precision is p then with N = 10^{p+2} + 1 the fraction
1/N could still round to 0, e.g. with a ‘%.pf’ format specifier:
|---+-------+----------+------|
| p | N | 100/N | %.pf |
|---+-------+----------+------|
| 0 | 101 | 0.990099 | 0 |
| 1 | 1001 | 0.099900 | 0.0 |
| 2 | 10001 | 0.009999 | 0.00 |
|---+-------+----------+------|
#+TBLFM: $1=@#-2::$2=10^($1+2)+1::$3=100/$2;%.6f::$4='(format (format "%%.%df"
$1) (/ 1.0 $2));N
