Jonny Grant mixes the two problems here in the crusade to achieve Casio
precision. The real problem solved here in this specific bug is incorrect
conversion between string containing a decimal number, and its closest IEEE 754
double precision representation. And this problem indeed is
LibreOffice-specific. But Jonny Grant tries to expand the scope of the bug,
which is a wrong thing to do; and then, indeed, the statement that GSheets or
Excel or whatever do things differently is wrong.
