Thinking more about this: it should be possible to restore _whole_
previous settings. So probably we need something like:
get_output_mode : () -> Record(mode : String, prec : String)
othewise, after
outputFixed()
n := outputGeneral(12)
we have no clue that previous mode was "fixed". Also, '-1' is
valid as precion, but to set arbitrary valid precision one
would have to use code like
if prec = -1 then
outputFixed()
else
outputFixed(prec::NonNegativeInteger)
And to set desired mode we would need chain of tests. So it seems
that we need funtion
set_output_mode : (Stiring, Integer) -> Record(mode : String, prec : String)
which sets desired mode. I wrote above version that returns old settings,
but in principle version that returns Void is enough given 'get_output_mode'.
