I'd love to see rust-yard support scientific notation.
I'm currently looking into using it with clapme to handle floating-point parsing. The motivation is that sometimes (when doing scientific coding) one wants to input something like sqrt(2), which is a nuisance to do if you have to copy a long string of digits. However, using rustyard in effect as a general floating-point parser doesn't work so well if it fails to parse ordinary floats.
For the moment, I see enough value here that I'll think for now I will first try from_str and if that doesn't work I'll use rust-yard, which is limiting to users, but still an improvement.
