 * Format a floating point number in a reasonable way. <br>
 * I've experienced problems with the %g conversions that caused array bounds violations. Those versions of the JRE that do
 * <b>not</b> throw such Exceptions use one digit less than specified in the %g conversions. <br >
 * TODO check how to always format numbers corresponding to the Locale used.
