#8756 closed defect (patchwelcome)

dojo.number.format returning an incorrect value or large exponentials

Description

Using 1.3 trunk, 

dojo.number.format(99999999999999999999999999999, {})

returns "1.000"
That doesn't look like a good return value. This is affecting #8692. Probably null, undefined, NaN, dojo.number.OUTOFRANGE, or "1e+29", but not "1.000".

(In [16817]) Make sure Infinity/-Infinity are formatted to null. Refs #8756

see [16820]. Moved floating point fudge logic out to an experimental home in dojox.math. Now the result is only as bad as it was before: 1,e+29. Also, you now get null instead of "In,fin,ity" (yikes)

(In [16880]) Fixes #8756. Established default maximum Number value of 9e+15. If beyond max, then do not attempt to format to a string.
