As a maintainer of one popular implementation, this idea that having a
zero fractional part makes a number non-integer annoys me a great deal.

I would insist that any parser that distinguishes real and integer
representations should parse numeric values with a zero fractional part
(and non-negative exponent) as integers.

10.0 is an integer, even if a parser only supports, e.g., IEEE754
representations of numeric values.
