From mmd.pod:

Like C<mmd_dispatch_string>, only it returns a FLOATVAL.
Wouldn't it be more sensible to call the function mmd_dispatch_floatval ?
Yep. The terminology's mixed in a number of places--we should probably go
fix it everywhere and be done with it. (Unless I'm just behind the times
and its already been done :)
OK, I've changed it over to mmd_dispatch_floatval in mmd.c, mmd.h and mmd.pod; as far as I can tell, it's not yet being used anywhere else.
Although I think "float" is clearer than "number" (in that it's clearly different than "integer"), it might be easier to go with "number"--since we have set_number vtable methods, and "N" registers rather than "F" registers....
