[issue9009] Improve quality of Python/dtoa.c

[Eric Smith]

Eric Smith <eric at trueblade.com> added the comment:

I realize the ship's already sailed on this issue [1], but isn't it a problem that editing this code makes it more difficult to apply patches from Gay's original code? What do we do if Gay releases a new version of his code with bug fixes?


[1] Sorry non-native American-English speakers. I mean that we already have this problem since we've already modified the code.
