    proc addFloat(result: var string; x: float | float32) {.inline.}

  Converts float to its string representation and appends it to `result`.

  Example:

      var
        s = "foo:"
        b = 45.67
      s.addFloat(45.67)
      assert s == "foo:45.67"

    proc writeFloatToBuffer(buf: var array[65, char]; value: BiggestFloat | float32): int {.
        inline.}

    proc writeFloatToBufferRoundtrip(buf: var array[65, char]; value: BiggestFloat): int {.
        ...raises: [], tags: [], forbids: [].}

  This is the implementation to format floats.

  returns the amount of bytes written to `buf` not counting the terminating '0' character.
