description

    
Peter Bex writes (slightly edited):


Improve the wording in the description of `string->number` from:

"If string is not a syntactically valid notation for a number, `string->number` returns `#f`."

to something like:

"If string is not a syntactically valid notation for a number, or would result in a number that the implementation cannot represent, `string->number` returns `#f`."

I'd also like to suggest adding this line to the end:

"The `string->number` procedure always returns a number or `#f`; it never raises an exception due to the content of the string."
