The underlying support code for recognizers (which is not insignificant)
must exist whether floating point is present or not.  The question for Forth
implementations is whether they can find enough Forth parsing uses
beyond conventional needs such as f/p to justify the investment.  IMO the
issues recognizers solve are arcane enough not to warrant.  If I were to
provide recognizers for the 'one in a million' times I needed it would be in
the form VFX did - as a loadable add-on that's patched into the system
via an existing hook.
