Description
Hello!
I was wondering if we could get the possibility to format a Float or Double in scientific notation with a given precision (number of decimal places). That is:
```
scientificFixedPrecision :: Int -> FloatFormat
```
Further, it would make sense to format Float and Double in standard notation, but with a given number of significant digits.

Research direction
Start by locating the FloatFormat entry point and the existing Float and Double formatting behavior. Clarify the API and expected output for scientific notation with a fixed number of decimal places, plus standard notation with significant digits; done means both requested formatting capabilities are implemented and covered by tests.
