Currently the PHP function returns the U_NO_NUMERIC_VALUE constant, which
is set to the very weird "float(-123456789)"; basically it's a value that
it's certain it doesn't have an Unicode numeric character equivalent
counterpart.
I would change the function to return NULL instead; what do you think?
