Note, however, that this can return (or do!) near anything, because it
accepts any Clojure syntax.
user=> (read-string "\"foo\"")
"foo" ; a string
user=> (read-string "(1.1)")
(1.1) ; a list containing a fl

For a double (not decimal):
(Double/parseDouble "1.1")
=>
1.1
for a decimal:
(BigDecimal. "1.1")
1.1M
Note that Clojure has reader support for BigDecimal (
