SASS outputs small numbers in scientific notation

[Prinzhorn]

$: sass --version
Sass 3.2.12 (Media Mark)

Given a file WAT.scss with the following contents

.foo {
    transform:translateZ(0.00001px);
}

the following command

sass WAT.scss

outputs

.foo {
  transform: translateZ(1.0e-05px); }

which is to my knowledge not valid CSS. Even if it would be, it would only make sense to output scientific notation if it saved at least a single byte.

Workaround: use 0.0001px which will stay untouched. (Adding another zero 0.000001px will result in 0.0px, so this is really an edge case).

Scientific notation is supported by CSS, but we don't currently support it (#1020) so we probably shouldn't be emitting it.
