The example
// Round floating point numbers

with the floating point substitution using the Regex:

  reFloatingPoint = ctRegex!`[0-9]+\.[0-9]+`;

Is not so nice, because it would match for dates like 16.06.2016, 
too.

(I remember having a simmilar problem when trying to substitute 
123.44 Euro to
German format: 123,44 Euro ending up with a modified date: 
16,06.2016)

Sure this may be not the point of the example, but I dislike it 
therefore.

How to expand the Regex not to match dates?
