Numeric constants and 'D' as an exponent

[Dave Nichols <dave.nichols@...>]

The tonumber function appears to accept a 'D' (or 'd') as the exponent 
character as well as the documented 'E' (or 'e'). Is this intended?
E.g. tonumber'2d2' returns 200
This is version 5.1.2 but there are no patches related to this up to 5.1.4
