Hmmmm... I just noticed that the specification
(http://yaml.org/type/float.html) isn't just unclear, it's inconsistent.

The examples listed include:

exponentioal: 685.230_15e+03

Notwithstanding the spelling of exponential, that example is not
consistent with the regular expression (which allows underscores only if
they preceed the decimal point -
[-+]?([0-9][0-9_]*)?\.[0-9.]*([eE][-+][0-9]+)?).
