add parsing of nan,Inf,+nnn, with variables to turn on/off; add float validation #49

I thought of doing this, but I have my own older parse-float (with same name, unfortunately). Also, I thought that the built-in Lisp reader has the advantage of being rigorously read-write consistent, unlike 3rd party libraries, which might make it a better default. So I put a sanity check in front of the Lisp float parser, and made the use of any other parse-float optional using eg |

Please drop the yason- prefix - the package should make clear where the symbols are from.

About :NAN and ±∞ I'd like to see what CSR is doing about them - we'll want to be compatible. (See http://www.sbcl.org/sbcl20/ for the one-line note.)

I'm not sure I like this code-duplication - first checking for validity, and then parsing, with a lot of code overlap.
That's why I asked about using PARSE-FLOAT - use an IGNORE-ERRORS around it to check or so, I hope this could be done in a single pass.
Let's see what CSR comes up with.
