That's because, as you've defined them, integer and real are ambiguous. per the
usual convention, it chooses to match an integer for 5 not real.

The parser will fail when it attempts rule monomy because it is looking for a
real number not an integer.

If the algorithm you are using is scannerless, then I would expect a PEG to
work correctly. With a lexer, that resolved ambiguities normally, I would
expect a peg or any other person strategy to fail due to mismatched token.
You are making some fairly grand claims on this list. I think we would all
appreciate some details of your algorithm so we can evaluate your claims.
