return a.to_eng_string(context=self)
Convert to a string, using engineering notation if an exponent is needed.

        Engineering notation has an exponent which is a multiple of 3.  This
        can leave up to 3 digits to the left of the decimal place and may
        require the addition of either one or two trailing zeros.

        The operation is not affected by the context.
