isFloat incorrectly allows "."

[ndetommaso]

The regex for isFloat allows a string that is just a period. This is a consequence of the fact that nothing is required before the decimal (for cases like .123) and that nothing is required after the decimal (for cases like 123.).

You may want to go with the regex at the bottom of http://www.regular-expressions.info/floatingpoint.html, which I believe checks for all of the same properties that isFloat() checks for.
