BTW, does anybody know why we are not using the system strtod() when
available? That seems the way to the quickest solution on most
platforms. It seems to work with some simple tests for me. But I notice
that there is no strtod_r(), just strtod(). But I couldn't find a
definitive answer on whether or not the standard strtod() is guaranteed
to be thread-safe or not. Does anybody know (where to find this
information)?
