Comment (by Yance):
I tried my luck with this one as my first contribution, and I get the same
result as the comment right above me. I tried changing the way read works
on fixed size floats, but there are a couple of tests that enforce for
example read "38.009" :: Centi == 38.00, while I would find 38.01 to be a
more reasonable answer. I couldn't find anything about this in the Haskell
2010 report, so my question is: Would it be possible to change this
specification? Would it be desirable?
