Re:Parsing can become accidentally quadratic because of sscanf

If my memory serves, IEEE FP is accurate for those real numbers that are also integers (at least on some range). JS users are safe as long as they stay within the integer algebra (ie they don't use division, mainly, or perhaps round up the result). Lua users have the extra option to recompile their interpreter it uses integers.

That's fair as far as it goes (I pedantically should have said general-purpose FP numbers), but, again, applies equally well (actually more so, since they were talking about IEEE FP specifically) to the parent post.
