  Hello 
  As I looked to C++ extension suffing numeric literals. 
  My proposal is make . in method call of numeric literal optional so we can for example write 
  4i instead 4.i  
  Another application is making Time manipulations more readable like 
  deadline=Time.now + 2hours 
 
  Here is patch 
  It should be more restrictive to disallow traps like 0xadup
