* Notes:
*
+ * At most MAX_DIGITS significant digits are kept. Any trailing digits
+ * are treated as 0 as they are really just the results of rounding noise
+ * anyway. If you want to do better, use an arbitary precision arithmetic
+ * package. ;-)
+ *
* It should also be fairly portable, as not assumptions are made about the
* bit-layout of doubles.
