I'm not going to backport this to 2.6. The problem is that the fix for
this issue is tied up with the corresponding change to str (str(1e11)
produces '1e+11' in trunk and 100000000000.0 in release26-maint); I
daren't change str() in 2.6, so backporting would mean separating out the
str and format changes.
I'm not opposed to the backport itself; it's just a lack of time and
confidence of getting it right on my part. If anyone else wants to
backport feel free.
