Too few digits before exponential result is shown

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 223

Exponential results are shown as soon as the result is 6 or more digits.  I
think that this is far too small a number.  Couldn't this be configurable?

I particularly don't like the example below, which uses more characters to
display the result exponentially (1.234567e6 - 10 characters) than the
original number (7 characters).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. 1234567

What is the expected output?
1234567

What do you see instead?
1.234567e6

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.10.1
Vista x64
