If you have binary floating-point numbers, you ought to serialize them using no more than 17 digits. Anymore and you are being wasteful. Our code is optimized for such a scenario. However, if someone has data with lots and lots of digits per floating-point number, then our performance is somewhat less. This PR is better if you expect to be processing long significand.
