//   * v must be a strictly positive finite double.

// Returns true if it succeeds, otherwise the result can not be trusted.
// There will be *length digits inside the buffer followed by a null terminator.

//     the parameter requested_digits is ignored.
//     The result satisfies
//         v == (double) (buffer * 10^(point - length)).
//     The digits in the buffer are the shortest representation possible. E.g.
//     if 0.099999999999 and 0.1 represent the same double then "1" is returned
//     with point = 0.
//     The last digit will be closest to the actual v. That is, even if several
//     digits might correctly yield 'v' when read again, the buffer will contain
//     the one closest to v.
//   - FAST_DTOA_PRECISION, then
//     the buffer contains requested_digits digits.
//     the difference v - (buffer * 10^(point-length)) is closest to zero for
//     all possible representations of requested_digits digits.
//     If there are two values that are equally close, then FastDtoa returns
//     false.
// For both modes the buffer must be large enough to hold the result.
