Look, in your example, {:06}, and only
{:06}, generates an output that can be
parsed by strtod. Others are producing
seemly correct results "occasionally,"
which is troublesome -- generating weird
output is okay, confusing people is not.
I feel doing evil if I'm adding more
"rule of thumbs" to C++ since it already
has too many.

I did not affirmatively say that is
useless, I just don't find its complexity
and learning cost worth the effort.
