Description
Hi,
This has already been discussed in #72 , but I'd like to resubmit it as a feature request.
Double to string conversion currently rounds half away from zero: 0.25 (precise) printed with 1 digit of precision yields "0.3".
This is documented here https://github.com/google/double-conversion/blob/master/double-conversion/double-to-string.h#L404 (search for "halfway cases").
However rounding away from zero is not what most C++ code does by default: printf, std::print, std::to_chars etc. all round half to even. (One would also argue, this is what most other programming languages do.) They would print "0.2" in the above example, not "0.3".
It would be nice to have a way to pass a flag or similar in order to request this rounding form from DoubleToStringConverter.
