Nice forensics tool.

With this I can see plainly that, as reported by Wolfgang,
\definebodyfontenvironment[42.0pt] results in the dimension’s
decimal place to be stripped before font definition.

Which makes me wonder whether \switchtobodyfont should do a
\normalizebodyfontsize on the #specification before triggering
the switch? So that 42.0pt be interpreted as 42pt? Now that I’m
aware of it I can as well build that into my macros either ...

Philipp
