Your analysis is completely correct. It's OK to use doubles; doubles allow to
work with integers up to 2^52. The problem is in conversion to string. And we
*badly* need an accurate method for that.
Unfortunately, conversion of double to string is a difficult thing, affected by
multitude of factors like decimal/thousand separators, national numerals, and
so on. So there's no function in STL that would fit our variety of different
needs perfectly.
But myftoa looks a candidate for eradication. It's simple enough that
rtl_math_doubleToString could replace (and then we would deal with one less
imperfect implementations).</pre>
