I know, but documenting a (grammar) bug does not make it go away.
Who says its a bug? From my understanding, this exception is there on
purpose, to make it easier to use the DOT_DOT operator in the slice
expresions:
foo[1..2] // It would be silly to have to put a space after the 1
At most you could make a case that "1." shouldn't ever parse as float,
that the decimal part should be required if the dot is present.
