That would be:

<int-literal><dot><int-literal> -> float(<int-literal> + "." + <int-literal>)
<int-literal><dot><identifier> -> getattr(int(<int-literal>), <identifier>)
<int-literal><dot><dot><int-literal> -> xrange(<int-literal>, <int-literal>)

However, the problem comes when you realise that 1e3 is also a floating point 
literal, as is 1.1e3.

Cheers,
Nick.
