Re: [racket-users] Re: number->string format guarantees
I agree that the spec for printing inexacts needs to be clarified. The current output format for flonums is consistent with scanf(), at least for non-infinity and non-NaN values, since it's produced by sprintf("%g", ...). Using "%g" means that the number sometimes prints with an "e..." part and sometimes not, though. For single- or extended-precision numbers, the output always includes an "f" or "t", and converting that character to "e" makes it compatible with scanf().

Re: [racket-users] Re: number->string format guarantees
I think number->string is intended to be like `write` (ie written to be read back in hopefully without losing anything) and maybe you want something that's more in the spirit of `display`? (I.e., show something to a human in a hopefully useful format (at least that's how I see the difference between write and display)). There is a very very old attempt at this that was designed for use with DrRacket: http://docs.racket-lang.org/framework/Number_Snip.html?q=number-snp#%28def._%28%28lib._framework%2Fmain..rkt%29._number-snip~3amake-repeating-decimal-snip%29%29 It does things like trying to make nice-looking fractions and show helpful amounts of decimals and deals with the fact that smallish rationals might turn into very very long decimals. It also requires a GUI context, so that might not be helpful. That said, I'm sure it could stand to be generalized and modernized and improved. It is used in DrRacket currently, so you can just write programs that produce numbers to play around with it.

[racket-users] Re: number->string format guarantees
This is complicated by single-flonums which seem to pretty out in the reading format: (number->string 3f0) ===> "3.0f0" which is likely to look like an error to users. This makes me feel like I should never use number->string to show something to a user... which seems strange.
