Reals
Formed from an optional minus sign and a sequence of digits followed
by a required decimal point and an optional exponent such as
-1.2e3. Reals can be built up using the usual operations:
`+', `-', `*', and
`/', with parentheses for grouping.
A real constant can be followed by one of the dimension keywords:
\mm \pt, \in, or \cm, for millimeters,
points, inches and centimeters, respectively. This converts the number
a number that is the internal representation of that dimension.
