`Single.ToString()` and `Double.ToString()` use the "G" format specif- ier by default, which does not include all significant digits in the produced output. Change the diagnostic formatting code so that it uses a round tripping representation for floating point numbers (like e.g. the Visual Studio debugger does, too). Instead of the somewhat unreliable "R" specifier, use "G9" (for singles) and "G17" (for doubles) as documented on: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/ standard-numeric-format-strings#the-general-g-format-specifier
