[issue3404] wrong precision in float formatting

[Hagen Fürstenau]

New submission from Hagen Fürstenau <hfuerstenau at gmx.net>:

This seems to be wrong:

>>> "{0:.2}".format(1.2345)
'1.2'

The same happens for format specifiers "g" and "n", but not for "f":

>>> "{0:.2f}".format(1.2345)
'1.23'

With empty format specifier it can even get really wrong:

>>> "{0:.1}".format(1.2345)
'1.0'
