Not to start anything here, but has anyone ever written up something along the lines

The general argument for rejecting a pattern
of digits ending with a decimal point and
not followed by any decimal places (e.g. "10.")
is that such a pattern often indicates a typo.
The argument for accepting such a pattern,
representing an integer constant,
is that we've always done it that way.

I use that all the time instead of FMT(), but what seems odd to me is the
".", unless UV accepts "10." to be the same as "10.0" or "10".

It has affected two sites - one on Solaris and one on HPUX and has caused a

Anybody have any idea what this code thinks it is doing?
PRINT 10.2
PRINT 10.'2'

program output:
10.2
