Note: Code in if and else is intentionally partially duplicated. Current
human readable output of floats does not conform to locale conventions,

exactly same as it is now.
The question is if we can change the human readable output. It was
requested by Google and I guess they parse the output.
I created the alternative output format just for purpose of machine
parsing: No need for scanf(), just space separated values.
I was also thinking about possibility to switch between human-readable
and easily parseable output even to a specified FD, but I did not
implement it.
I could be easy: Positive number would mean easily parseable output,
negative number human readable. Just zero will be a problem (but we can
still parse it on ASCII level and allow -r-0.
