This comes from bug 3837 and bug 2656


I suggest to turn floating point literals like the following into syntax
errors, because the saving of one digit is not worth the troubles they cause:
.5
3.

And require something like:
0.5
3.0

Daniel Murphy suggests to allow 1.f and 1.L but this a special case.
