Instead of printing at most 6 digits, print as many digits as are
necessary to preserve float values exactly.
I did run into this when building a config file using nix which has float values requiring at least seven significant digits. With this PR the values are sometimes less pretty, but it is less surprising and makes the float values more versatile.
