Hmm, typing 'precision' into HyperDoc box and clicking on 'Reference'
gives 17 hits. One is 'Float' where you see submenu containing
'OutputFunctions' and here you see formatting posibilities.
OK, that is a little cheating I know that functions were there
so it was easier to find. But still, a search in HyperDoc
or going trough descriptions of domains can help. And BTW,
from 'digits' you can go to Float and from there to operation
list -- if 'digits' look relevant it makes sense to check
if domain provides some other functions.
