[Cfp-interest 1693] printf with %a

[Fred J. Tydeman]

Is
 printf("%-+#.0La", 3.0L);
allowed to output  "+0x2.p+1"
instead of "+0x3.p+1"
for IEEE-754 binary floating-point?

C 7.21.6.1#11 has:
For a and A conversions, if FLT_RADIX is a power of 2, the value is correctly rounded to a hexadecimal
floating number with the given precision.
