As I already reported, >20 years ago I tried to use "2," as a two-cell
variant of ",", and Gforth did not report an error, but interpreted
the "2," in a (by me) totally unexpected way.
As a reaction to that, Gforth now accepts only numbers with "." as
double numbers. This has not led to any complaints. My conclusion is
that other double indicators are not just dangerous, but also
unnecessary.
