+The "R" format isn't supported by Mono. It currently returns the same
+result as "G" which isn't precise enough.
+
+The current design (Normalize in FloatingPointFormatter) cannot be
+used to implement "R" because it loose precision when doing
+multiplication (so we end up with the right number of decimals but not
+with the proper numbers).
