84 The expected form of the string is an optional plus
88 followed by one of the following:
91 a sequence of digits optionally containing
92 a decimal-point character, optionally followed by an exponent.
93 An exponent consists of an

98 or minus sign, followed by a sequence of digits.

111 This implementation currently does not interpret such a sequence.
114 Leading white-space characters in the string (as defined by the
116 function) are skipped.
123 functions return the converted value, if any.
