Hi all,

I've been using the TextMapper.Scanner to read some datafiles, and I noticed
that the string "-0" returns TextMappers.invalid, instead of an integer zero
(which is what I would have preferred it to do). When I then looked through
the documentation, I couldn't find anything that indicated what the required

syntax is for a valid integer or a valid read number. Is this documented
somewhere and I missed it?

Thanks,
