Actually after careful reading of the code, I thought the convertor did
overflow/underflow checking for reals but currently does not. Therefore `is_real'
and `is_double' can only have the same implementation which means that you may not
get what you want. If one wants to have a look at STRING_TO_REAL_CONVERTOR to
perform the check that would be great.
