When I use declare= on the command line or in a .ini file, only 6 significant
figures get passed in.

  #version 3.7;
  #ifndef (Input) #declare Input = 12345.6789; #end
  #debug concat (str(Input,0,4), "\n")

Rendering this scene file with no parameters prints 12345.6789 as expected.  But
rendering it with the command line option

  declare=Input=12345.6789

yields 12345.7000.  (POV-Ray 3.6.1 prints all 9 digits.)
