NOTE: instead of using rust's
f64::from_str, I used thelexicalcrate, whose flexibility more closely matches Python's float parsing (e.g. it correctly supports all the variations in the test case of this PR, while the former does not). As a nice bonus, it's 4000x faster. You can read more about it here.
