Only if you believe the standard means what it says about significant figures in SET-PRECISION, and not what at least one knowledgable person thought it meant! :-)There's a reason to prefer the first version. Sometimes you want an accurate decimal representation of a radix 2, 64-bit floating point number considered as exact.This gives very long numbers for small numbers; I would guess around 700 digits in exponential notation and 1000 in plain notation.
But I see on c.l.f. that you're filling the formatted output gap!
