#2146: ST_AsText returns 'e' as exponent

 Priority:  medium   |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.0.3
Component:  postgis  |     Version:  2.0.x

 The following query:

 {{{
 select ST_AsText(ST_MakePoint(1E-7, 1e-8))
 }}}
  returns:

 {{{
 POINT(1e-007 1e-008)
 }}}
 I would expect it to return:

 {{{
 POINT(1E-007 1E-008)
 }}}
 As far as I can see capital E is the standard used in Postgres, as well as
 in standard defintions.
 Some floating point numbers fails on parsing as is, and in general since
 it is not clearly defined that it will always be 'e', it is more difficult
 to reliably parse.
