I tend to agree. The amount of time you're going to want to use floating-point in arbitrary radix (vs. the number of times you are going to accidentally type a dot where you shouldn't and get weird bugs instead of a simple syntax err) indicates to me that we'd be better off disallowing it.My opinion: don't allow floating point arbitrary radix. It's uncommon enough that it could be done with a module. It would be trivial with a grammar munge.
I still can't find a compelling reason for including it, personally.
