Perhaps we should apply some limit to the precision of floats? For example,
typeset -F 100000000 foo; echo $foo
succeeds, and at least in my setup, causes typing at the next
commandline to be very slow, because of multiple calls to
setunderscore(). It doesn't seem to affect zsh -f. This could also be
a case of "don't do that then". :)
