Try how 22.300 is responded to in the repl. I looked up section 1.3.3 of the Racket Reference. I wonder why this postfix # notation is included. Does anyone have a clue?

Hi, I've been wondering what the postfix hash syntax does. This is what happens when I append a # to an integer: > 9# 90.0 > 9## 900.0 > 9##### 900000.0 Floating point numbers stay the same: > 22.3# 22.3 > 22.3## 22.3 > 22.3### 22.3 I can't find this syntax in either the Racket Guide or the Reference. In fact, I accidentally stumbled upon this behavior when a friend mistyped 53 as "5#".
