Well, actually, I have.
When I see them in Futon, I can see they are stored as I had wrritten them; it is
only when I use JavaScript (or access a document through the Document API) that
those numbers are interpreted in an inconvenient manner.
That said, I was wondering whether a different view engine may solve this issue.
If you want fixed precision, you'll need to store your numbers in
strings and manipulate them that way too. A quick google in the past
has shown a few "bignum" libraries for Javascript.
No, storing as string won't do, since I have little contro0l over the content of
documents to be stored... I could write an handler function to transform every
number into a string, but this would sap performance.
