It seems to be mostly impl'ed (in file decimal.C); not documented though!

There is disagreement about what DecimalStr should do precisely.

I have implemented FixedStr (temporary name!) to mimic DecimalStr as it was defined in float.cpkg5.

Decide exactly which fns we want (with exact semantics); implement cleanly,
and document!

DecimalStr etc now implemented in CoCoALib.

I note that the package contains two non exported fns: Atan and Pi.
Do we want to keep these?

20140424 I see no point in keeping Atan and Pi.

[I've already written this in #419]
I tested the new DecimalStr: I'd prefer 3 digits after "." by default (instead of 4).
I find it more natural to group digits in 3.

I have now removed float.cpkg5.
Everything seems to work just fine.
Checked/updated doc too.
