1. I assume that the line numbers in the diff is not correct anymore, 
don't know how sensitive that is
2. As I say in the bug report literals don't work, i.e. 3.foo();, 
x.foo(); works though.

To make 2. work I assume additional changes need to made in the lexer 
and/or parser. What I've heard 2. will never work until ".1" and/or "1." 
are not allowed anymore.
