             Summary: Add configuration option to skip call to stripTrailingZeros on BigDecimal Numbers
                 Key: FREEMARKER-232
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-232
             Project: Apache Freemarker
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: engine
    Affects Versions: 2.3.32
            Reporter: Sune Keller


When evaluating a template in which the model contains a field for which the value is a simple BigDecimal with a given scale and trailing zeros within that scale, the trailing zeros are stripped away by the implementation in {{{}freemarker.core.CTemplateNumberFormat#formatToPlainText{}}}:
{code:java}
} else if (num instanceof BigDecimal) {
    BigDecimal bd = ((BigDecimal) num).stripTrailingZeros();
    int scale = bd.scale();
    if (scale <= 0) {
        // A whole number. Maybe a long ID in a database or other system, and for those exponential form is not
        // expected generally, so we avoid that. But then, it becomes too easy to write something like
        // 1e1000000000000 and kill the server with a terra byte long rendering of the number, so for lengths
        // that realistically aren't ID-s or such, we use exponential format after all:
        if (scale <= -100) {
            return bd.toString(); // Will give exponential form for this scale
        }
        return bd.toPlainString(); // Never gives exponential form
    }
    // `db` is not a whole number. Note that `bd` is already normalized to not have trailing zeroes.
    return bd.toString(); // Gives exponential form of the absolute value of the number is less than 1E-7 {code}
It would be wonderful to be able to configure whether any trailing zeros are stripped or not by way of some configuration option, so as to avoid having to copy and re-implement this final non-public class.
