I take no precautions limiting output to 15 and 18 digits respectively
for double and extended. This is floating-point after all and lack of
accuracy at the limits is expected.
I think it has to do more with things like
FORTH> 1e 9e f/ 1e1000 f/ fe. 0.0111111111111111111e-999 ok
or Gforth's
1e 9e f/ 1e100 f/ fe. 0.0111111111111111111e-999 11.1111111111111E-102 ok
of SwiftX's
