I think you are referring to the code that uses "%.9g"
The format "%#.9g" could be used instead...
But trailing zeros will not be removed at all, so 1.0 will be 1.000000000 i=
nstead of 1
but this will also be true for numbers like 1.11 which would not be 1.11000=
0000
That is probably not a good thing

This seems to be an unfortunate consequence of the g conversion specifier.
