How long would it take a good coder to write a bullet-proof character- 
cannon? Also…

Do I assume correctly that there are already parser functions  
available that template authors can use in order to take a numeric  
value between two pipes; e.g. “1.1234567”, and count the digits to  
the left of the decimal point (the integer portion of the  
significand), count the digits to the right of the decimal point (the  
fractional portion), and separate off the fractional portion in  
preparation for sending it to a character cannon? Is that right?

That defeats the point of using floor().  It would turn 4.6 into 5
also.  In fact, floor(round(x)) is exactly the same thing as round(x).
