Query or set the internal variable that specifies the minimum number of
significant figures to display for numeric output.

Note that regardless of the value set for @code{output_precision}, the
number of digits of precision displayed is limited to 16 for double
precision values and 7 for single precision values.

When called from inside a function with the @qcode{"local"} option, the
variable is changed locally for the function and any subroutines it calls.
The original variable value is restored when exiting the function.
