But the form ".0" is perfectly acceptable to other programming languages 
as representing a
"floating-point" zero. It could also arise as the result of an operation:

set a [1.0 * 0.0]
$a + 1.0

The string representation of a zero, as generated by the underlying C 
function, should
then be checked to include the leading "0".

Another thing: what would be the interpretation of:

set a [1.0 + 1.0 1.0 1.0 - 3.0 3.0 3.0 * 4.0 4.0 4.0]

The mixture of operators and numbers makes me feel uncomfortable ...
