Kawa currently does do something useful with the exponent markers:
1.0f0 or 1.0s0 returns 32-bit float
1.0d0 or 1.0e0 returns 64-bit double
1.0l0 return java.math.BigDecimal

Kawa correctly returns #f for both of these.

It's arguably a bug that (write  1.0f0) returns "1.0";
it should print "1.0f0"
