Lexical analysis: Floating point literal leading zero example

Documentation

2.6.2. Floating-point literals

The leading zero on the fractional part is significant and is not ignored. Probably should read

Unlike in integer literals, leading zeros are allowed in the integer part. For example, 077.010 is legal, and denotes the same number as 77.01.
