Historical implementations of @command{sleep} have required that
@var{number} be an integer. However, GNU @command{sleep} accepts
@var{number} be an integer, and only accepted a single argument
without a suffix. However, GNU @command{sleep} accepts
arbitrary floating point numbers (using a period before any fractional
digits).
