I wasn't around back then so I don't know:
When monotone started, did it start as 0.01, 0.02, ... 0.09, 0.10, 0.11,
... or did it start 0.1, 0.2, ... 0.9, 0.10? If the former, we're using
two-digit integers, but they could be interpreted as rationals, so we
haven't run out. If the latter, the next would be 0.100.
