Hi,
I recently encountered something I found a bit peculiar when reading
floats from strings. Leading zeroes seem okay, as long as there is no
decimal point. To wit:
Main> (map read ["1.0", "00000", "01", "01.0"]) :: [Float]
[1.0,0.0,1.0,*** Exception: Prelude.read: no parse
Neither is leading decimal point allowed:
Main> (read ".01") :: Float
*** Exception: Prelude.read: no parse
Is this how it's supposed to be?

If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
