I'm not sure I've really understood what you are asking, but if you have a
number stored in a variable of type 'double', then the precision of that
number is whatever the precision of 'double' is. Converting it to some other
type is obviously not going to add back whatever information was lost in
going from a mathematical real number to the limited precision number that
can be stored in a 'double'.
