++ The syntax of floating-point and imaginary literals has been
+ liberalized, to allow leading zeroes. Examples of literals now
+ legal that were SyntaxErrors before:
+
+ 00.0 0e3 0100j 07.5 00000000000000000008.
+
+ An old tokenizer bug allowed floating point literals with an incomplete
exponent, such as 1e and 3.1e-. Such literals now raise SyntaxError.
