+NAME
+    display - set and/or return decimal digits for displaying numbers
+
+SYNOPSIS
+    display([d])
+
+TYPES
+    d		integer >= 0
+
+    return	integer
+
+DESCRIPTION
+    When given an argument, this function sets the maximum number of
+    digits after the decimal point to be printed in real or exponential
+    mode in normal unformatted printing (print, strprint, fprint) or in
+    formatted printing (printf, strprintf, fprintf) when precision is
+    not specified.  The return value is the previous display digit value.
+
+    When given no arguments, this function returns the current
+    display digit value.
+
+    The builtin function:
+
+    	display(d)
+	display()
+
+    is an alias for:
+
+	config("display", d)
+	config("display")
+
+    The display digit value does not change the stored value of a number.
+    It only changes how a stored value is displayed.
+
+    Where rounding is necessary to display up to d decimal places,
+    the type of rounding to be used is controlled by config("outround").
+
+EXAMPLE
+    > print display(), 2/3
+    20 ~0.66666666666666666667
+
+    > print display(40), 2/3
+    20 ~0.6666666666666666666666666666666666666667
+
+    > print display(5), 2/3
+    40 ~0.66667
+
