-\G is @i{up}.  @code{Set-precision} has no effect on @code{f.rdp}.
-\G Fixed-point notation is used if the number of siginicant digits
-\G would be larger than @i{up} and if the number of digits before the

-\G exponential notation is used, and if that does not fit, asterisks

-\G cases where @code{f.rdp} switches to exponential notation because
-\G fixed-point notation would have too few significant digits, yet
