Where I work we write quite huge files out with ascii floating point
numbers in them, and %g really is a big win and is used all the time. In
fact it helps to further modify it to remove the leading 0 from numbers
between -1 and 1. Believe me, the reduction in file size makes a
difference. So I do recommend doing this.
