subject Literal floating point values not as in Java
code 
object bug {
  val v1 = 2.f;
  val v2 = 2.d;
}
what happened 
The compiler complains

bug_scanner.scala:2: value f is not a member of scala.Int
  val v1 = 2.f;
            ^
bug_scanner.scala:3: value d is not a member of scala.Int
  val v2 = 2.d;
            ^
two errors found
what expected No complaints. The Scala reference claims that floating point literals are "like in Java", but here it's not the case. Both "2.f" and "2.d" are valid Java literals.

Changed scanner to also accept literals like "2." or "2.f" (as specified in the JLS)
