More important, it feels wrong coming from a Lisp background, as Common 
Lisp and Scheme both interpret "1." to be a floating point number.  I 
would support changing Emacs Lisp to be consistent with common practice, 
as there seems no point to being different and there are advantages to 
being consistent.  (Not during the feature freeze though, of course.)
