Are roundoff errors on the order of one part in 2^56 really a deal-breaker for 
your application? I mean, “17.300000000000000711” does _look_ ugly compared to 
“17.3”, but the difference is completely negligible for most purposes. Have you 
worked out how many significant figures of accuracy you need, and are the 
results correct to within those significant figures?
