 Hi,

 G_trim_decimal() will blindly chop away 0s after the decimal point,
 converting ,for example, a string ending in e+20 into e+2. :-(

 I guess 'e' needs to be the trigger character; if found we have a choice
 to either just return the original string or perform heroics
 such as:
 {{{
 1.234567890123460000000000000000e+20
     ->
 1.23456789012346e+20
 }}}

 ?


 thanks,
 Hamish
