<pre>The number scanner used for field inputs, Calc cell input and various locale
dependent numeric or date+time inputs, has an odd behaviour in that it accepts
and skips '-' and '/' characters that immediately precede a number (without
ignoring a leading plus or minus sign or any other meaningful string like month
name though). This leads to the wrong acceptance of
--1 => -1
---1 => -1
+-1 => 1
+--1 => 1
which all should be text strings instead and not numbers.
A fallout from

sc-date-fix.diff: Parse 'june-2007' as June 1 2007 in en-US locales
that implemented the intention wrongly.</pre>
