[#] Well, i mean, you can certainly write a floating-point number
in another radix quite easily.  It might be cute to include it for
completeness (and consistency with integers) though i bet no one
would really consider it much more than a neat E curiosity.  But it
would neatly take care of the case where one happens to have a
floating-point value with no fractional part, as in Bill's example.
