// prefix and an adjacent digit, and between successive digits; such
// underscores do not change the value of the number, or the returned
// digit count. Incorrect placement of underscores is reported as an

// It sets z to the (possibly rounded) value of the corresponding floating-
// point value, and returns z, the actual base b, and an error err, if any.
// The entire string (not just a prefix) must be consumed for success.

//	mantissa  = digits "." [ digits ] | digits | "." digits .
//	pmantissa = [ "_" ] digits "." [ digits ] | [ "_" ] digits | "." digits .

// argument will lead to a run-time panic.

// no prefix is accepted. The octal prefix "0" is not supported (a leading
// "0" is simply considered a "0").
