Follow-up Comment #7:

I'm reopening this as a feature request because I think it would be useful to
display exact zero values as 0 instead of 0.00000, especially in the
fixed-point format.

Note that only exact zero values are displayed as 0 instead of 0.00000 and
doing this gives a visual clue that the values displayed as 0.00000 are not
actually zero, but are so much different from the other values that none of
the significant digits are shown.

With Octave's default format this is not as much of a problem because the
format will automatically switch to an E format when the range of magnitudes
becomes too large to display significant digits of the largest and smallest
values without using exponents.
