I think I'm in agreement with this.

I wonder if grind should respect fpprintprec. (From trying an
example, it looks like it does.) grind is advertised as a function
which prints stuff in a format suitable as input. I think that's
a useful idea, so it seems like grind should try to print floats
so that they have whatever digits are stored. (Yes, I know that
the last one could be different after doing float --> grind -->
float.)

FWIW
