Patches to the reader for a more sane number syntax to be used in the
teaching languages are welcome. Note that we already have some of
these in place, as 1.2 reads as a rational in the teaching languages.

BTW, I think this is what Racket does. It just has single and double.

In systems with inexact number objects of varying p
Oh! Just found that common lisp used these for types:
- s = short
