Why should it not read "kladdakaka"? If the program passed is for example Stdio.File, then "kladdkaka" might be a perfectly acceptable choice. I don't see why your examples should be more suited to pass to constructors in general (as opposed to your specific example) than other strings.

Something which reads 17, 5/7, -5/7, 5/-7, 4.711, 4711e-3, 3.14e-4711, 5e3/7 and 5/7e3, but for instance does not read "kladdkaka". You usually are good at finding borderline cases that could be troublesome -- have you any examples in mind?
