This will convert all & into *. Due to the syntax
ambiguity (which is why we are making this change),
even address-of & will turn into *, so you'll have
to manually fix thes instances. You will be guaranteed
to get compile errors for them - expected 'type', found 'foo'
- Fix errors printing very small numbers
- Add explicit scientific output mode
- Add rounding based on a specific precision for both decimal/exp
modes.
- Test and confirm exp/decimal against libc for all f32 values. Various
changes to better match libc.
The purpose of this is:
* Only one way to do things
* Changing a function with void return type to return a possible
error becomes a 1 character change, subtly encouraging
people to use errors.

Here are some imperfect sed commands for performing this update:
remove arrow:
```
sed -i 's/\(\bfn\b.*\)-> /\1/g' $(find . -name "*.zig")
```
add void:
```
sed -i 's/\(\bfn\b.*\))\s*{/\1) void {/g' $(find ../ -name "*.zig")
```
Some cleanup may be necessary, but this should do the bulk of the work.
