- the 4.8.3 implementation allows these decimal-like numbers _everywhere_,
- not just in serial numbers. in 4.9 they will be accepted only for serial
- numbers and the decimal interpretation will be a compile-time option
- (shipped "enabled" by default).
-
- i, like john, would like to know if anyone will miss them.
