`Numeric.showEFloat` does not honor precision with 0 digits
Hello,
Numeric.showEFloat should display a number of digit after the dot depending on the Maybe Int argument. It works for values > 0:
Prelude Numeric> Numeric.showEFloat (Just 5) pi ""
"3.14159e0"
Prelude Numeric> Numeric.showEFloat (Just 1) pi ""
"3.1e0"
But for 0 it shows the same result as with 1:
Prelude Numeric> Numeric.showEFloat (Just 0) pi ""
"3.1e0"
I was expecting 3e0 or 3e0.
As a matter of comparison, here is the behavior with Numeric.showFFloat:
Prelude Numeric> Numeric.showFFloat (Just 5) pi ""
"3.14159"
Prelude Numeric> Numeric.showFFloat (Just 1) pi ""
"3.1"
Prelude Numeric> Numeric.showFFloat (Just 0) pi ""
"3"
