-          An important point about the identity filter is that it 
-          guarantees to preserve the literal decimal representation 
-          of values. This is particularly important when dealing with numbers 
-          which can't be losslessly converted to an IEEE754 double precision 
-          representation.
-
-          jq doesn't truncate the literal numbers to double unless there
-          is a need to make arithmetic operations with the number.
-          Comparisons are carried out over the untruncated big decimal 
-          representation of the number.
-
-          jq will also try to maintain the original decimal precision of the provided
-          number literal. See below for examples.

         examples:

-            input: '[1, 1.000, 1.0, 100e-2]'
-            output: ['"[[1,true],[1.000,true],[1.0,true],[1.00,true]]"']

-      Numbers in jq are internally represented by their IEEE754 double

-      Please note that all numbers are converted to IEEE754 double precision 
-      floating point representation. Arithmetic and logical operators are working
-      with these converted doubles. Results of all such operations are also limited 
-      to the double precision. 
-
-      The only exception to this behaviour of number is a snapshot of original number 
-      literal. When a number which originally was provided as a literal is never
-      mutated until the end of the program then it is printed to the output in its 
-      original literal form. This also includes cases when the original literal 
-      would be truncated when converted to the IEEE754 double precision floating point
-      number.
