  //  - EMIT_TRAILING_DECIMAL_POINT: when the input number is an integer and is

  //    Example: 2345.0 is converted to "2345.".
  //  - EMIT_TRAILING_ZERO_AFTER_POINT: in addition to a trailing decimal point

  //  - NO_TRAILING_ZERO: Trailing zeros are removed from the fractional portion
  //    of the result in precision mode. Matches printf's %g.
  //    When EMIT_TRAILING_ZERO_AFTER_POINT is also given, one trailing zero is
  //    preserved.
  //  - EMIT_TRAILING_DECIMAL_POINT_IN_EXPONENTIAL: when the input number has
  //    exactly one significant digit and is converted into exponent form then a
  //    trailing decimal point is appended to the significand in shortest mode
  //    or in precision mode with one requested digit.
  //  - EMIT_TRAILING_ZERO_AFTER_POINT_IN_EXPONENTIAL: in addition to a trailing

  // The exponent_character is used in exponential representations. It is

  // When converting to the shortest representation the converter will
  // represent input numbers in decimal format if they are in the interval
  // [10^decimal_in_shortest_low; 10^decimal_in_shortest_high[
  //    (lower boundary included, greater boundary excluded).
  // Example: with decimal_in_shortest_low = -6 and
  //               decimal_in_shortest_high = 21:
  //   ToShortest(0.000001)  -> "0.000001"

  // When converting to precision mode the converter may add
  // max_leading_padding_zeroes before returning the number in exponential
  // format.
  // Example with max_leading_padding_zeroes_in_precision_mode = 6.
  //   ToPrecision(0.0000012345, 2) -> "0.0000012"
  //   ToPrecision(0.00000012345, 2) -> "1.2e-7"
  // Similarly the converter may add up to
  // max_trailing_padding_zeroes_in_precision_mode in precision mode to avoid
  // returning an exponential representation. A zero added by the
  // EMIT_TRAILING_ZERO_AFTER_POINT flag is counted for this limit.
  // Examples for max_trailing_padding_zeroes_in_precision_mode = 1:
  //   ToPrecision(230.0, 2) -> "230"
  //   ToPrecision(230.0, 2) -> "230."  with EMIT_TRAILING_DECIMAL_POINT.
  //   ToPrecision(230.0, 2) -> "2.3e2" with EMIT_TRAILING_ZERO_AFTER_POINT.
  //
  // When converting numbers with exactly one significant digit to exponent
  // form in shortest mode or in precision mode with one requested digit, the
  // EMIT_TRAILING_DECIMAL_POINT and EMIT_TRAILING_ZERO_AFTER_POINT flags have
  // no effect. Use the EMIT_TRAILING_DECIMAL_POINT_IN_EXPONENTIAL flag to
  // append a decimal point in this case and the
  // EMIT_TRAILING_ZERO_AFTER_POINT_IN_EXPONENTIAL flag to also append a
  // '0'-character in this case.
  // Example with decimal_in_shortest_low = 0:
  //   ToShortest(0.0009) -> "9e-4"
  //     with EMIT_TRAILING_DECIMAL_POINT_IN_EXPONENTIAL deactivated.
  //   ToShortest(0.0009) -> "9.e-4"

  //     EMIT_TRAILING_ZERO_AFTER_POINT_IN_EXPONENTIAL activated.
  //
  // The min_exponent_width is used for exponential representations.
  // The converter adds leading '0's to the exponent until the exponent

  // The min_exponent_width is clamped to 5.
  // As such, the exponent may never have more than 5 digits in total.

  //   might be too short in which case the caller has to fill the remainder
  //   with '0's.
  //   Example: toFixed(0.001, 5) is allowed to return buffer="1", point=-2.
  //   Halfway cases are rounded towards +/-Infinity (away from 0). The call
  //   toFixed(0.15, 2) thus returns buffer="2", point=0.
  //   The returned buffer may contain digits that would be truncated from the
  //   shortest representation of the input.
  //  - PRECISION: produces 'requested_digits' where the first digit is not '0'.
  //   Even though the length of produced digits usually equals
  //   'requested_digits', the function is allowed to return fewer digits, in
  //   which case the caller has to fill the missing digits with '0's.
