Here's an updated patch that makes the trailing 'p123' exponent optional
in fromhex. (This matches the behaviour of C99's strtod and sscanf; in
contrast, Java always requires the exponent.)
I'm beginning to wonder whether the '0x' shouldn't also be optional on
input as well, in the same way that it's optional in int():
>>> int('0x45', 16)
69
>>> int('45', 16)
69
This would then allow, e.g.,
>>> float.fromhex('45')
69.0
