And fortunately POSIX agrees with our implementation:
The following operand shall be supported:
time
A non-negative decimal integer specifying the number of
seconds for which to suspend execution.
You could argue that the thousands separator should be supported though:
$ sleep 1.000.000
if your locale is something vaguely european, and
# sleep 1,000,000
for the north-americans.
But let's not go there...
