 C lang's printf function doesn't print decimal point if only trailing 0s.
 But GHC does.

 {{{
 Prelude Text.Printf> :m + Text.Printf
 Prelude Text.Printf> printf "%g\n" 2.0
 2.0
 }}}

 {{{
 #include 

 int main() {
   printf("%g\n", 2.0);
   return 0;
 }
 // output: 2
 }}}

 Is this bug?
 Should printf be compatible with C?
