:-)

probably the discussion on [804]

to recap:
katja's original double-precision fixes (on which the current double-precision support is based) used different formats for displaying (and saving) numbers, based on whether you were using double precision or not. i intentionally left this format magic out (because it also had undesired side-effects).

I'm not sure how to solve this... the problem is that "atom_string" is used to *save* and *display* floats, but these two operations don't require the same amount of precision.


yep.
i agree that we need two different atom2string converters for those two use-cases.
it would also solve the problem with spaces-in-symbols [824].


i've opened a feature-request [1310]
