How do you know that it isn't practical to have numeric symbols when 
splitting ?

If I read /etc/passwd (list of users on Linux&OSX) and I split at colons 
and commas to get phone numbers, do you think I want Pd's help at rounding 
a phone number from 383.3801 to 383.38 when converting (aller-retour) from 
symbol to float to symbol, because it had too many significant digits for 
Pd's taste ?

So, just call me at 383.38 because it's more practical than dialling 
383.3801 ! ;)
