PSPP-BUG: [bug #41734] Handling of very large Values: pspp exports to e-notation, losing content

I do not think that SPSS does this.  Even if it did, then the additional
precision past 64 bits would be lost whenever you write data to a .sav file,
because the .sav file format uses 64-bit floating point numbers.

PSPP uses 64-bit floats internally.
