When did I propose emitting integers in the file format? I was talking
about internal representation. Of course, it makes perfect sense to
parse the file format as a decimal, e.g "30.12".

As long as the file-format can load / save the same angle each time,
accurately, I'm happy. What I didn't want see is:

30.1200000000123

Cropping up in files un-necessarily.
