+/**
+ * toFixedPointString is a version of Number.toFixed that avoids rounding problems and floating-point errors that exist
+ * in Number.toFixed and dot.Utils.toFixed. It converts a number of a string, then modifies that string based on the
+ * number of decimal places desired. It performs symmetric rounding based on only the 2 specific digits that should be
+ * considered when rounding. Values that are not finite are converted using Number.toFixed.
+ *
