Compact Number Formatting and Fraction Digits

Wouldn’t this be accomplished with setMaximumFractionDigits(1) ?

I think that is not even expected when min fraction digits is set, but considering the objective of compact number formatting this could be a good value add to introduce an API which if set, truncates trailing fractional zeros while formatting output. This may need some thought process on its feasibility.
