I followed that advice, and found and fixed more bugs that were
lurking in the original and in my complications. When the number
begins with a decimal point, that's an edge case none of the
earlier versions were handling right. I added a regression test
for that.
I just posted my latest version at Rosetta, without the
unnecessary complications. I hope you like it better.

(The complications weren't totally useless though. Without trying
the complications, I wouldn't have tested enough to make as much
improvement as I have. Overcomplicated features are something to
avoid releasing, except in a repo folder of extras for other
programmers to try fiddling with, and Rosetta code isn't exactly
that.)
