Yes, that's easily doable; I'll look into that soon. By the way, my ulterior motive for doing this patch is to fix up the rat's nest of code buried deeply inside the core comparison operations. In particular, compare() is deliberately called on the same line, only for debugging purposes: this is deeply weird and inhibits some further optimizations that I have in mind. Fixing this is also on my list of things to do, but I'll put the strtold stuff higher up than that.
