I agree. There are too many items in the todo list waiting to be incorporated
or fixed in Vim. These are all related to text editing. IMHO, I don't
see the support
for floating point numbers useful to editing text. As Bram once said, we should
not add a feature to Vim just because somebody might use it someday.
