Not principal on this, i just think it is natural, as long as we have
"e" alias for "expr". I think "eif" is good to have, too. Aliases cost
nothing there.

Floats are output by "expr".
And i'm afraid that making the formatting function more generic would
add a lot of complexity (including safety checks). Actually now i
cannot imagine how would it look like, and what are the use cases.
