[squeak-dev] Rounding to n significant digits?

Hi,

I'd like to print decimal Floats with at most n significant digits. E.g.

	123456 roundToSignificantDigits: 3
	=> 123000
	0.00123456 roundToSignificantDigits: 3
	=> 0.00123

Would this generally be useful? If so, what would a good selector be? And what a good implementation? Instead of rounding I'd be happy to just get a String.

Thanks :)
