Let us get real. Why would you want an item 2015.0605?? If it is some
magical fixed number, you might as well use "2015.0605" (or, better
yet, some clearer name). If it is some random number, what happens
if it comes as 2015.0000? Nothing good can come from that "feature".
(On the other hand, it can actually hinder some smart implementation
of '#' in the Blackcurrant Tart in the future.)
