Description
The new exponential format (10e2, 020e2, etc) always creates floating point variables. Shouldn't it instead create constants of the type you specify?
E.g. 1.1e2 = 110.0
1e2 = 100

Exponential notation has always been a floating-point representation in other languages. Making it an integer in some cases and floating-point in others will most likely cause confusion. Won't fix.
