|Should Float#to_s cache its result since Floats are immutable values and the Float#to_s is fairly complex/expensive?

First, Maybe. it should.  But it's not a bug at least.  Move to
feature-request.  Second, we need to prove the effectiveness of the
caching in real-world use-case (is it really a bottleneck?), before
sacrifying space efficiency.
