This is an interesting one. My reading is that `.' shouldn't be
treated as a number and that this is actually a bug in the JDK.
Comments on this?
I just tried the stream tokenizer test with `-.'. The JDK gives me
`-0.0'. Even with this patch we'll still get `0.0', which is "wrong"
by either definition.
This patch is clearly better than what we have now, though.
