+1 for trunk (with all necessary documentation and upgrading changes).
Huge -1 for 5.3, just in case :)

Yes, I think it's dangerous to change the default display precision
lest we have a ton of applications that currently show 0.2 showing
0.20001.
Exactly. And remember, PHP output is not necessarily just for web pages
for humans to read. Other apps may rely on parsing this data, etc.,

After some testings, here is what I get :

The default precision of 14 (or 12) must have been chosen to address
this overlong string representation of many simple floats ?

The default serialize precision is currently [1] set at 100. A little code
inspection shows precision, in this case, takes the usual meaning of
number of significant digits.
Given that the implicit precision of a (normal) IEEE 754 double precision
number is slightly less than 16 digits [2], th
