The SNL lex does not appear to support scientific notation for floating
point numbers. Amazing. Here's the relevant bit:

FPNUM   (([0-9]+)(\.[0-9]*)?)|(\.[0-9]+)

I will look into changing the definition to support any valid C floating
point number syntax. In the meantime, keep typing those zeroes.
