Just my 2 cents, but here you have chosen the code for parsing a
floating representation which is, of course, full of peculiarities and
corner cases.  It would not be that much different should it be written
in « pure » CL.

But at the other end of the spectrum, there is lots of code which is
just: walk through this collection and do "this" if "that".
