Cool! That would be helpful to many languages implemented in C/C++
relying on the platform {float, double}<->string library routines.
Note that the latest revision of the C standard ("C99") specifies
strings for infinities and NaNs that conforming implementations must
accept (for example, "inf"). It would be nice to accept those too,
for portability; "most" Python platforms already do. In fact, this is
the primary reason people running on, e.g., Linux, resist upgrading to
Windows ;-)
