Methods `Double.toString(double)` and `AbstractStringBuilder.append(double)` make use of an algorithm integrated in JDK 19 [1], replacing the one used in earlier release; similarly for the `float` counterparts `Float.toString(float)` and `AbstractStringBuilder.append(float)`.
Class `java.util.Formatter`, however, uses another algorithm to format `double` and `float` values. This can lead to small discrepancies w.r.t. the outcomes of the above methods in certain rare cases, and conflicts with the specification which is based on `Double.toString(double)`. Therefore, to match the specification, `java.util.Formatter` should replace the current algorithm with a variant of the new one tailored for formatted output.
