The formatters table documents %d as "Number (both integer and float)". That is inaccurate and matches issue #913, where a float passed to %d is truncated: in Node.js the log call goes through util.formatWithOptions (see src/node.js log()), whose %d is printf-style integer formatting. The table also omits %f, which util.format supports for floats.
Solution
Describe %d as integer formatting (floats truncated toward zero).
Add a %f row for floating-point numbers.
Node example confirming current behavior:
constcreateDebug=require('./src/node')('t');createDebug.log=(...a)=>console.log(require('util').formatWithOptions({}, ...a));createDebug('int %d float %f',3.7,3.7);// int 3 float 3.7
Verification
%d / %f behavior verified against util.format() on current Node.js.
