Description
Similar to https://github.com/jakob/TableTool/issues/73, TableTool tries to convert scientific notation to decimal with many many leading zero's. For example, `1e-22` becomes `0.0000000000000000000001`. It would be of great help if it can be set so that it won't make any assumption on the input data, and preserve literally what user inputs. Thanks

Research direction
Start by reading the related issue #73 and tracing where TableTool converts scientific notation to decimal. Define how the proposed option should preserve input such as `1e-22`, then verify that enabled behavior leaves the user's literal value unchanged without introducing assumptions about other input.
