This may cause the function to set errno=0 if it is successful, which is
not allowed for standard library functions from C and POSIX. There may
be a problem not only if expand_number() is standardized but also if it
is used in the implementation of a standard library function. The best
solution is to save and restore errno around this (if [ERANGE] is
detected, that is a valid errno value to keep).
In an application it is acceptable to set errno=0 without further ado.
