How to format float unambiguously?

When formatting floats, as far as I can tell, one either has to
pick the whole decimal gallery, or accept that the end result
might be ambiguous.
For instance:
writefln!"%f"(1.); // 1.000000
writefln!"%F"(1.); // 1.000000
writefln!"%#f"(1.); // 1.000000
writefln!"%#F"(1.); // 1.000000
writefln!"%g"(1.); // 1
writefln!"%G"(1.); // 1
writefln!"%#g"(1.); // 1.000000
writefln!"%#G"(1.); // 1.000000
Specifying the precision allows to reduce it, but not increase it:
writefln!"%.1f"(1.0); // 1.0
writefln!"%.1f"(1.11111); // 1.1
Am I missing something? This problem also seem to exist when
dumping value in D format. For instance:
writeln([1.0]); // [1]
Which is now an array of integers instead of floats.
