Test of accuracy of formatting numbers Functions scientific.mpfr() and get.format.from.sci() allow to compute format information for numbers with high accuracy using Rmpfr package. Function check.format() compares this to the output of R base function format.info(). On platforms with a proper "long double" type, the error should not exceed 1 ulp of the input number.
