I won't be at ICFP, but would like to put in a reminder about the shabbiness of GHC floating-point output conversion. When I raised this issue once before, I got the surprising reaction that speed was more important than accuracy. Doug McIlroy

Hi Doug, Thanks for pointing this out. I will raise it but is there a ticket or reference for this also?
