But you might as well consider having:
template <typename FPT>
std::string f_impl(FPT v)
{
}
std::string f(float v) { return f_impl(v); } std::string f(double v) {
return f_impl(v); }
Don't forget long double. But +1 to the simple suggestion.
Ok - I'm all for KISS - BUT the imposing spectre of multiprecision looms ;-)

But thanks for the helpful suggestions.
