`std.format.formatValue` uses C's `snprintf` which works this way in `snn.lib`:
---
import std.string;

void main()
{
    assert(format("%.1f", 0.09) == "0.1"); // Failed, formatted as "0.0"
    assert(format("%.1f", -0.09) == "-0.1"); // Failed, formatted as "-0.0"
    assert(format("%.1f", 0.095) == "0.1"); // OK
    assert(format("%.1f", -0.095) == "-0.1"); // OK
    assert(format("%.1f", 0.094) == "0.1"); // Failed, formatted as "0.0"
    assert(format("%.1f", -0.094) == "-0.1"); // Failed, formatted as "-0.0"
}
---


Workaround:
---
real preformatFloating(real n, ubyte digits)
{
    immutable k = 10.0L ^^ digits;
    return round(n * k) / k;
}
void main()
{
    assert(format("%.1f", preformatFloating(0.09, 1)) == "0.1");
}
