We lose precision when we perform the conversion from double to string. Link to code. The default precision for a double in str::stream is set to 6 digits, which causes the loss of precision.
This problem was identified in HELP-48955.
We should change it so that we get a string representing the exact same doubleValue and can roundtrip and retrieve the same value back.
We also want comprehensive and randomized tests to verify this behavior.
