[Xml-compile] $_[0] + 0.0 for sloppy floats

[hmepas]

Imagine the same service serving xml and json. It's come in handy to use
WSDL validation for both protocols to avoid code duplication. Then if we
converting to json structure which came out after XML::Compile
deserialization, floats and decimals will be like "3.14". And then if you
will serve this json to the strict languages like i.e. Java you might have
problems (depends on host strict is json realization).
And if integers are going thru $_[0] += 0, why not doing the same for float
types, when sloppy_floats is on?
I solved my problem via redefining
$XML::Compile::Schema::BuiltInTypes::builtin_types{sloppy_float}
right in my controller, but it you will change this realization in future
versions of XML::Compile, my code will broke. Yes, I could have a unit test
for that, but still.
