Well, it's not necessarily *wrong*, but maybe we could improve it.
The code currently assumes it can print 10 fractional digits in the
float case, which is overly optimistic once you get a large number
of days in the "days" component.  Maybe we should add some code
to back off the precision depending on the number of days?
