/* ISDIGIT differs from isdigit, as follows:
   - Its arg may be any int or unsigned int; it need not be an unsigned char
     or EOF.
   - It's typically faster.
   POSIX says that only '0' through '9' are digits.  Prefer ISDIGIT to
   isdigit unless it's important to use the locale's definition

/* The goal here, is to take two numbers a and b... compare these

   is complete.  The algorithm used, in the old "sort" utility:

   Algorithm: fraccompare
   Action   : compare two decimal fractions
   accepts  : char *a, char *b
   returns  : -1 if a<b, 0 if a=b, 1 if a>b.
   implement:

   if *a == decimal_point AND *b == decimal_point
     find first character different in a and b.
     if both are digits, return the difference *a - *b.
     if *a is a digit
       skip past zeros
       if digit return 1, else 0
     if *b is a digit
       skip past zeros
       if digit return -1, else 0
   if *a is a decimal_point
     skip past decimal_point and zeros
     if digit return 1, else 0
   if *b is a decimal_point
     skip past decimal_point and zeros
     if digit return -1, else 0
