1. Floating point "integers"???

2. TECO is historically important and interesting, and I can sort of
understand wanting to re-implement it as a retrocomputing hack, or maybe
even use it for nerd factor or because you were used to it.  But,
extending it seems pretty niche.  Does SciTECO have more than one user?

The DEC TECOs were themselves very limited compared to the MIT versions
that I guess culminated in the versions underpinning ITS Emacs.
