It was unthoughtful for me not to set severity to "enhancement" and priority to
1. Indeed, this is not a bug. I understand that 1.1000000000000000888 is the
same double as 1.1. However, I think it is much nicer to see the later than the
former (formally, nicer actually means shorter). The difference in decimal
representation lead me on a wrong track, when debuging a compiler. So it does
make a difference.
javap and dis both use the expected representation.

So I hope you won't mind that I reopen the report, now with low severity and
priority.
