Description

>> Float("0x1p9")
=> 512.0
>> Float("0x1p+9")
=> 512.0
>> "0x1p+9".scanf("%a")
=> [512.0]
>> "0x1p9".scanf("%a")
=> [0.0]                              # Oops
>> RUBY_VERSION
=> "2.4.1"

In scanf.rb, there are three regexps that say the equivalent of [pP][+-] where they should say [pP][+-]?
