Idea: have `.N$` and `.*` in format string accepting a range as the minimum and the maximum precision

Currently, you can only specify a fixed accuracy when formatting floating point numbers:

println!("{:.2}", 1f64); // prints 1.00
println!("{:.2}", 1.125); // prints 1.13
println!("{:.2}", 1.1); // prints 1.10

I propose that .N and .* should be able to accept a range, indicating the minimum and maximum precision:

println!("{:.*}", 1..=2, 1f64); // prints 1.0
println!("{:.*}", 1..=2, 1.25); //prints 1.25
println!("{:.*}", 1..=2, 1.125); //prints 1.13
