Is this a bug with fmt? It seems to happen with the 'fmt' in both

Side note... the main reason I'm using 'fmt' in this particular case is
to print out numbers with a certain precision.
As you can see, implementations have different default printing behaviour:

I don't mind using fmt; it's a nice package. But just curious; is there
a more light-weight way to portably print numbers with a certain
precision? In my case, I just need to print decimal numbers with about 5
places of precision.
