I know... so what ? Upon reflection I don't think that systematically 
adding trailing zeros (even when a number is stored exactly) is a good 
idea. What we could aim at, in order to keep a compact display, is to 
remove all trailing zeros when displaying non-scalar matrices, and 
display them when displaying a scalar alone. Even this small step 
(together with the display of small real real parts, small imaginary 
parts, zero imaginary parts) would be an improvement for Scilab users.
