[docs] [issue19871] json module won't parse a float that starts with a decimal point

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

I think it would be better to adhere to the JSON spec, which doesn't allow numbers to start with a decimal point:
http://json.org/

If we go this way, the documentation should at least be fixed; and, as you say, we could also add a unit test for it.
