lgtm! but nit: since this is a lower level library used by others, i wonder if we should make the commit/comments say "PostgreSQL" instead of PG. ideally we'd not have to mention PG at all, but it sounds like we have to, since PG deviates from the official spec?

yep, done |
Officially in the GDA spec, formatting a 0 with any decimal places should be 0. However, this code doesn't do that - it formats the number of 0s up to 6, and then `0E-exponent` afterwards. To make this more "PG" compatible, we fix this by ensuring we display as many 0s as the exponent allows in the `.String()` case.
