Yeah, fair enough, I concede the point.  we see the internal 
representation there, I suppose it could be a design decision to give a 
more readable output in all cases, but as you say, that's available via 
printf so there really isn't a problem.  Indeed I do have a bias in that 
I don't like absolute values displayed as tho they were measured values 
with some level of precision when they ain't.  I yield.
