Indeed. But I wanted to inform you ASAP as the person actively working
in this area.

I think so. In any case, whatever we chose to do in an area where the
standard it's not completely clear (but almost, I would say, after 282
and 358!), it must be something meaningful: definitely it's not a good
idea feeding __add_grouping with 'e'/'E' and the exponent sign and
everything!
