So does Pastran. That's not surprising, that is not legal Pascal
according to the Pascal standard.

Of course, a particular compiler might allow it anyway. That's one
difference between Ada and nearly every other programming language: Ada
compilers are tested for conformance. An Ada compiler that tried to
allow 1.e-5 would fail to pass the conformity tests and would be fixed.
Other languages aren't tested, and code that doesn't work on another
compiler is the result.
