The easy fix would be, to accept scientific notation as float.

But I think, this might be a general problem with [pool]: It doesn't
care about data types at all, however as soon as the data comes out
again, it is used typed in Pd. Maybe a solution could be to add types
at least for the basic pd types symbol, float and lists. Hoewver,
handling lists of mixed float and symbol values still isn't solved
with these alone.
