Embedded punctuation in doubles was something I was never happy with
(misleading, can make a typo and still be accepted). So when ANS limited
it to one decimal point at the end I was rather relieved.
I'm having trouble finding the place in ANS 94[0] or Forth 2012[1] where
any of this is specified. That surprises me. Particularly, 3.4.1.3
Text interpreter input number conversion doesn't discuss the matter.
