That's something missing in sprintf(), a way to give the overall
number of significant digits for fp output. You can of course use
exponential notation.

Or write a function that uses sprintf() to construct a customised
format string for another sprintf() function call.

  #syntax tstr(fnamstr,a,b,b_ndecimals)
  tstr(n,a,b,bs) = sprintf("%s = %.2f·x %s
%.".sprintf("%.f",bs)."f",n,a,b<0?"-":"+",abs(b))
