Is there any way to ensure consistent formatting of arbitrary Floats and Doubles across platforms?  `123.45f.toString()`  has different rounding on wasmJs than other platforms, and `1.2e205.toString()`  is `1.2E205` on most platforms, and `1.2+e205` on JS platforms (both browser and node).

There is no builtin function because Kotlin uses the platform representation that differs.

Depending on the value you could convert it to a long and do the formatting yourself, but it is a very hacky workaround that should be avoided. 

If I were going to work around it, it wouldn’t be by converting it to a long. Long can’t handle the 1.2e205 case.

I was just hoping there was some common utility for it, but if I want to have this feature, might just need to write it myself.
