By moving the code for the exponent after the code for a decimal point (instead of having it part of the code for decimal point), the fractional part has become optional in floating point numbers.  I.e., it is now allowed to have a number 1e+308 (cf. bug #922332).

Niels, please verify that this is indeed allowed in SQL, if not back
out this change.
