I would prefer to keep the doc for float() simple, including what it accepts (numbers and strings) and a few examples like ``'1.2'``, ``'.5'``, ``' +3 '``, ``'inf'``, ``'NaN'``.
Even if the other information is still valuable, I'm not sure this is the best place where to include it, and I think it might be confusing for unexperienced users.
