Oh, and just to clarify: Matt's comments come from his scientific.e library
in the archive, which contains its own number parse routines that I believe
are more accurate than the one built into the interpreter parser.
I believe they would still suffer from conversion errors, just not as pronounced.
Again, I'll have to experiment later.
