Re: Representation of Fractional Numbers, there are two solutions. If you return decimals, people using JS on the other end are going to call float(d). If you return floats, people not using JS on the other end are going to go use a different library. I suggest the former is more acceptable than the latter for a stdlib offering. Allowing the caller of parse() to choose would be even better.
