>Description:
The current implementation of java.text.DecimalFormat
is not completely spec compliant.  For instance it
mishandles exponential notation in cases like "##0.#E0"
(the "scientific notation" case).

We should go through the DecimalFormat spec, write
mauve tests, and then bring the DecimalFormat implementation
up to spec.
