(1) Currently, '%f' formatting automatically changes to '%g' formatting for
numbers larger than 1e50. For example:
'%f' % 2**166.
'93536104789177786765035829293842113257979682750464.000000'
'%f' % 2**167.
'1.87072e+50'
I propose removing this feature for 3.1
I don't think we've stated it on this discussion, but I know from
private email with Mark that his proposal is for both %-formatting and
for float.__format__ to have this change. I just want to get it on the
record here.
Eric.
