The lexical syntax says that 10e3 means 10 e3 (i.e. two lexemes). I don't like this choice, and it could be "fixed" in the Revised H98 report.
What is the likelihood of anyone *intentionally* writing an integer abutted directly with a varid, followed directly by another integer, and no intervening whitespace? Nil, unless you are entering an obfuscated code contest, I reckon. This looks like a good change to me. Regards, Malcolm
