[PD-dev] [PD] double precision merged

[Christof Ressi]

Yes, but additional digits are just truncated, there's no rounding. The 
problem IOhannes mentioned is that with double precision you more often 
encounter situations where you don't get exact numbers because the 
rounding happens much later. So you might something like 3.9999999999999 
in double precision where single precision might have rounded to 4. In a 
number box, this would be displayed as "3.999".

The other possibility would be that the GUI objects perform some kind of 
rounding in double precision mode according to the box width.
