Though trans(9.2) does return "9.19999999999999999" (didn't count the nines), trans(9.2, "") returns " 9.20" (with leading spaces). The empty string as a picture works for other things as well - ?trans($1) goves you "$1.00", while ?trans($1,"") gives you "1.0000". Well, it may not be buggy, but it does have a set of unexplored features :).
