[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53683] numerical output format for float values with magnitude greater than precision is wrong

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #53683 (project octave):

I agree that the use of the terms precision or "significant figures" is
sloppy, so the documentation could use some work.

But the values shown aren't wrong, are they?  I don't think we are displaying
more digits than are valid for the computed values.
