I added a note to the docs on my local drive, will get checked in
sooner or later.

The rationale here is that if the user only sees a certain precision,
the number they see should go in the adjustment. But it may well be
dumb, GtkRange is one of the oldest widgets in GTK, and as you
probably saw from the source code, has some interesting
idiosyncracies.
