Should it, though?  Although it would be pretty convienient, I think
that handling scientific notation would be an unnecessary complication
for IMCC, and it would be better handled by the compilers that target
it.  (As in, the compiler converts scientific notation to decimal form
during compilition to IMCC code.)

Not my call. The current assembler does the Right Thing WRT this notation and I'd want numeric constants handled somewhere. :)
