Float values holding integers are rendered with a trailing period about ocaml-mustache HOT 4 CLOSED

string_of_float also uses the scientific notation "..e+..* when the float value becomes large. I'm not sure whether we want this or not. One way to get rid of the trailing dot would be to use something likePrintf.sprintf "%.12g", but this also switches to scientific notation for big-enough floats.

If there is no easy way of solving both problem at once, then I can commit the Printf.sprintf "%g" fix, which would still be a strict improvement over the current situation.

Turns out string_of_float is implemented exactly as Printf.sprintf "%.12g" + adding a trailing . when needed. I just pushed a commit that just does the Printf part; this should fix this issue.
