#8896: 0.0000000000000000000000000000 is parsed completely differently than
1.0000000000000000000000000000 for no good reason

Comment(by leif):

 Also, is it intentional that the exponent is ignored when computing the
 required precision?
 E.g., {{{1.0e-1000000000}}} as well as {{{1.0e-10000000000}}} evaluate to
 zero, because of only 53 bits precision.
