  Modified files:
    lib/libc/stdio       printf.3 
  Log:
  Bring the *printf(3) documentation up to date with the code:
  
  - Update and improve the documentation for %[aA]
    o Like %[eE], %[aA] may round the result if a precision is specified.
    o Grammar police: Fix a split infinitive.
    o The FreeBSD implementation does better than the minimum required
      by C99 (literal translation of the mantissa).  The digit before
      the hexadecimal-point is never 0 unless the number itself is 0.
    o Clarify that the exponent field represents a decimal exponent of 2.
    o Discuss the fact that multiple valid representations are possible.
    o Remove the entry in the BUGS section claiming that %[aA] is not
      implemented.
  
  - Remove the entry in the BUGS section claiming that the ' flag for
    printing thousands separators is unimplemented for floating-point.
  
  - Remove the entry in the BUGS section claiming that the L modifier
    reduces the precision to "double" before conversion.
