-----------------------------------------
{quote}what makes you sure 0.-262 was meant to mean -0.262 and not e.g. two
numbers 0. -262? Similarly here, is -12.-1 actually 12.1 (minus times minus),
-12.1 (overeager minus addition), -12. -1 (two numbers), or something else
entirely?{quote}
It's a best guess and we haven't had any complaints about the handling. Ideally
I'd refuse every even slightly incorrect file, but in practice our users want
us to accept these crappy files.
Registering some listener sounds like another complexity level :-(
