For Ints and Chars (in the code above the one I link) it's somewhat more straightforward what the numbers mean and why they're chosen, but for Floats it's kind of guesswork unless you already know what they mean. This came up while investigating #41631
Just thought of looking at git blame for who to best ask about this, seems @quinnj may know? I'd be happy to make a PR once I'm sure I understand what each number means and/or where it comes from.
Hmmm, I'm not sure I quite remember where those exact numbers came from; roughly it's the total number of significant digits we're willing to print/allow for precision for floats.
