Per our discussion I just removed floating point checks altogether. "0.123" is now considered valid because it is impossible to have a floating point uid or gid so there will be no confusion with floating point numbers. I have added those floating point numbers to the "validUsernames" test, and added a few more cases that are almost numeric, like "0xdeadbeefjawn-smith" to make sure they are seen as valid.
