[HACKERS] scan.l simplifications

In scan.l, there is: decimal (({digit}*\.{digit}+)|({digit}+\.{digit}*)) real ((({digit}*\.{digit}+)|({digit}+\.{digit}*)|({digit}+))([Ee][-+]?{digit}+)) Could this be simplified as: decimal (({integer}?\.{integer})|({integer}\.{integer}?)) real ((({decimal})|({integer}))([Ee][-+]?{integer}))
