Hi,

Ocaml allows me to add '_' at the end of a floating point literal, e.g.:

	1._

What can be a purpose for that?

In case of long or Long integers, optional adding of '_' between the
integer and 'l' or 'L' make sense ('l' is hard to discriminate from '1'
for many fonts). But in case of floats, I am not sure.
