Yes, it's not what 'people expect'.  This is why I argued (back in 1981)
that there should be a minimum value for NUMERIC DIGITS, perhaps 6 or
possibly 5.   But it was hard to deny that that was an arbitrary limit,
whereas 1 was a 'hard' limit.

I do understand


say 1005*1 - 1004*1  -- 10 


both operands are evaluated to 3 digits and


1.01e3 - 1e3 -> 10


So there is a bit of surprise
