  Core
  
+ + The syntax of floating-point and imaginary literals has been
+   liberalized, to allow leading zeroes.  Examples of literals now
+   legal that were SyntaxErrors before:
+ 
+       00.0    0e3   0100j   07.5   00000000000000000008.
+ 
  + An old tokenizer bug allowed floating point literals with an incomplete
    exponent, such as 1e and 3.1e-.  Such literals now raise SyntaxError.
