Core and Builtins
-----------------
+- Remove switch from "%f" formatting to "%g" formatting for floats
+ larger than 1e50 in absolute value.

- Remove restrictions on precision when formatting floats. E.g.,
"%.120g" % 1e-100 used to raise OverflowError, but now gives the
requested 120 significant digits instead.
