Could this use std::nextafter?

Sorry, something went wrong.

Yes; I need to implement a constexpr IEEE 754 nextUp/nextDown to fix the clang build anyway.

Sorry, something went wrong.

The trailing 11059 is not significant, right? It might change if the implementation changes. I would use a regexp and leave these digits unspecified.

The implementation (of operator""_UTC) should be correctly-rounded (it is not, see the TODO below, this was found by looking at those « insignificant » digits, so they test something).
Barring changes of the value being formatted, these digits must not change, except possibly by one unit in the last place: the fractional part (stored in remainder) is computed exactly, and we print 17 digits of it; if we cannot trust the binary-to-decimal code on seventeen digits we cannot ever hope that it will survive round-tripping.
