 *		decimal numbers, it resolves using the 'round to even' rule.
 *		With this value, the 'ndigits' parameter is ignored.
 *	TCL_DD_E_FORMAT - This value is used to prepare numbers for %e format
 *		conversion. It constructs a string of at most 'ndigits' digits,
 *		choosing the one that is closest to the given number (and
 *		resolving ties with 'round to even').  It is allowed to return
 *		fewer than 'ndigits' if the number converts exactly; if the
 *		TCL_DD_E_FORMAT|TCL_DD_SHORTEN_FLAG is supplied instead, it
 *		TCL_DD_E_FORMAT|TCL_DD_SHORTEST is supplied instead, it
 *		also returns fewer digits if the shorter string will still
 *		reconvert without loss to the given input number. In any case,
 *		strings of trailing zeroes are suppressed.
 *	TCL_DD_F_FORMAT - This value is used to prepare numbers for %f format
 *		conversion. It requests that conversion proceed until
 *		'ndigits' digits after the decimal point have been converted.
 *		It is possible for this format to result in a zero-length
 *		string if the number is sufficiently small. Again, it is
 *		permissible for TCL_DD_F_FORMAT to return fewer digits for a
 *		number that converts exactly, and changing the argument to
 *		TCL_DD_F_FORMAT|TCL_DD_SHORTEN_FLAG will allow the routine
 *		TCL_DD_F_FORMAT|TCL_DD_SHORTEST will allow the routine
 *		also to return fewer digits if the shorter string will still
 *		reconvert without loss to the given input number. Strings of
 *		trailing zeroes are suppressed.
 *
 *	To any of these flags may be OR'ed TCL_DD_NO_QUICK; this flag requires

     * denominator.
