One more thought: It might be (statistically) faster to scan the digits from
last to first than vice versa.

There are many more internal values which don't have an exact decimal
representation than those that have. The quantization error will show itself in
the last digits.

E.g. print "(f0.40)", 0.1_16 !> .1000000000000000000000000000000000048148
