Do you use d.legend?

"The text produced from floating-point raster maps will automatically create
output with a meaningful number of significant digits. For very small values,
numbers will be expressed in scientific notation, e.g. "1.7e-9".
"

Perhaps that should be likewise implemented for very large numbers, too?
