* Print the number using scientific notation (also known as scientific form, standard index form, or

* Print the number using short-form compact notation.
*
*
* Compact notation, defined in Unicode Technical Standard #35 Part 3 Section 2.4.1, prints
* numbers with localized prefixes or suffixes corresponding to different powers of ten. Compact
* notation is similar to engineering notation in how it scales numbers.
*
*
* Compact notation is ideal for displaying large numbers (over ~1000) to humans while at the same
* time minimizing screen real estate.
*
*
* In short form, the powers of ten are abbreviated. In en-US, the abbreviations are "K" for
* thousands, "M" for millions, "B" for billions, and "T" for trillions. Example outputs in
* en-US when printing 8.765E7 through 8.765E0:
*
*
* 88M
* 8.8M
* 876K
* 88K
* 8.8K
* 876
* 88
* 8.8
*
*
*
* When compact notation is specified without an explicit rounding strategy, numbers are rounded off
* to the closest integer after scaling the number by the corresponding power of 10, but with a digit
* shown after the decimal separator if there is only one digit before the decimal separator. The
* default compact notation rounding strategy is equivalent to:
*
*
* Rounder.integer().withMinDigits(2)
