defaultFormat without the thousands grouping, for a number that
names something rather than measures it: a series called 12345, or a
category drawn on an axis that mixes names and numbers. An id reads as
itself, digit for digit, where a quantity reads as a quantity.
Strings pass through unchanged, integers are stringified as-is.
A fractional number is rounded to DEFAULT_MAX_DECIMALS places, because
this is what a screen reader speaks aloud. A value MAIDR computes rather than
reads verbatim — a barnorm share, a percentage of a stack — carries the full
float, and 57.14285714285714 is sixteen digits to listen through for two
digits of meaning.
Rounding stops at the announcement. Sonification, braille, and extrema all
read the underlying numbers, so the pitch of a bar and the position of a
braille cell are unchanged; only the spoken text is shortened. An author who
needs different precision sets an explicit AxisFormat on the axis, which
takes priority over this.
