We are talking about strtof here, right?  strtof returns a float,
right?  So the second line should say "@code{float}" instaed of
"@code{double}", and we shouldn't return HUGE_VAL (which is a double
value and is not necessarily representable by a float), but rather
some other value.  What does glibc's strtof do in that case?
