Every two different Float shall have a different printString:
(12.45) = (1245*0.01) -> false.
So...

The printString shall be the shortest decimal that rounds to the same float.
It's hard to demonstrate with a simple snippet, but you can check that we
are very close yet:
((Fraction readFrom: '12.450000000000001') - (1245*0.01) asTrueFraction) /
(1245*0.01) ulp.
((Fraction readFrom: '12.45') - (1245*0.01) asTrueFraction) / (1245*0.01)
ulp.
