// The format fmt is one of
// 'b' (-ddddp±ddd, a binary exponent),
// 'e' (-d.dddde±dd, a decimal exponent),
// 'E' (-d.ddddE±dd, a decimal exponent),

// 'x' (-0xd.ddddp±ddd, a hexadecimal fraction and binary exponent), or
// 'X' (-0Xd.ddddP±ddd, a hexadecimal fraction and binary exponent).
//
// The precision prec controls the number of digits (excluding the exponent)
// printed by the 'e', 'E', 'f', 'g', 'G', 'x', and 'X' formats.
// For 'e', 'E', 'f', 'x', and 'X', it is the number of digits after the decimal point.
// For 'g' and 'G' it is the maximum number of significant digits (trailing
// zeros are removed).
// The special precision -1 uses the smallest number of digits
// necessary such that ParseFloat will return f exactly.
