It's bad because the decimal dot disappears so that the result can be
taken for an integer. Otherwise I don't have any issue with the "e"
format, and my fix just ensures that there's a dot in it:

  > (string) 1.0;
  (1) Result: "1.0"

I think however it'd be nice to tune down the number of displayed
digits a bit (MAX_FLOAT_PREC_LEN) so that the binary/decimal
conversion errors get rounded off.
