#i and #e don't work correctly in the numbers egg

Description
#e1e400 currently returns +inf.0 rather than exact 10400.
#e2.3 currently returns 2.3 rather than 23/10
#i1/2 currently returns 1/2 instead of 0.5
#e+inf.0 currently returns +inf.0 instead of reporting an error
No warnings should be printed.
A reasonable strategy is to look for #i and #e, and failing that, look for . and e. That determines which converter should be used, the exact-arithmetic one or the inexact-arithmetic one. Other than infinities and NaNs?, both converters should accept the same input and do the right thing with it.
