why in the world is anyone defending the continued existance of

I'm for disallowing them; 5.0 ad 0.5 are better.
Anyone else pro/against this idea?
I would not complain if trailing dot and leading dot were disallowed.
I think the question that should be asked is: would anyone complain if
they were kept? We have bigger rocks to move than that one.

Dropping them makes lexing cleaner: strictly "5..5" should lex as "5."
".5" based on maximal munch ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximal_munch )
