It's also possible to be a bit smarter in specific cases. See for example
the LaTeX table functions for regression summaries in the Dmisc package[1],
which uses the magnitude of the standard errors to dermine the number of
digits shown for estimates (s.t. the number of digits vary for each row/
estimate).
