// Text converts the floating-point number x to a string according
// to the given format and precision prec. The format is one of:
//
//	'e'	-d.dddde±dd, decimal exponent, at least two (possibly 0) exponent digits
//	'E'	-d.ddddE±dd, decimal exponent, at least two (possibly 0) exponent digits
//	'f'	-ddddd.dddd, no exponent
//	'g'	like 'e' for large exponents, like 'f' otherwise
//	'G'	like 'E' for large exponents, like 'f' otherwise
//	'x'	-0xd.dddddp±dd, hexadecimal mantissa, decimal power of two exponent
//	'p'	-0x.dddp±dd, hexadecimal mantissa, decimal power of two exponent (non-standard)
//	'b'	-ddddddp±dd, decimal mantissa, decimal power of two exponent (non-standard)
//
// For the power-of-two exponent formats, the mantissa is printed in normalized form:
//
//	'x'	hexadecimal mantissa in [1, 2), or 0
//	'p'	hexadecimal mantissa in [½, 1), or 0
//	'b'	decimal integer mantissa using x.Prec() bits, or 0
//
// Note that the 'x' form is the one used by most other languages and libraries.
//
// If format is a different character, Text returns a "%" followed by the
// unrecognized format character.
//
// The precision prec controls the number of digits (excluding the exponent)
// printed by the 'e', 'E', 'f', 'g', 'G', and 'x' formats.
// For 'e', 'E', 'f', and 'x', it is the number of digits after the decimal point.
// For 'g' and 'G' it is the total number of digits. A negative precision selects
// the smallest number of decimal digits necessary to identify the value x uniquely
// using x.Prec() mantissa bits.
// The prec value is ignored for the 'b' and 'p' formats.
