SQLite only claims to convert floating binary to decimal and back again
with an accuracy of 14 significant digits.  Going much beyond that requires
the use of infinite precision integer math, which we have chosen to omit
from the SQLite library at this time.

SQLite will store and retrieve floating point values with perfect
accuracy.  Applications that need more than 14 significant digits of
accuracy in binary to decimal conversion can still use SQLite for storage.
But binary to decimal conversion should be done using another library.
