[issue532631] Confusions in formatfloat

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson <dickinsm at gmail.com> added the comment:

The worst-case length calculations look fine to me, except that
on a system with sizeof(int) == 8 (yes, they do exist!) the
precision could end up being more than 10 digits.  I've added
a check for that in r70682.

The docs also already mention the %f -> %g conversion, so I think all
Tim's points have been addressed.
