[issue5864] format(1234.5, '.4') gives misleading result

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

I think the change should be deemed a bug and backported.  Nothing good
can come from having version differences persist or from having the odd
looking output.
