Number subgrammar

No. Lojbanic times aren't tuples, they are numbers written in base 60
representing either minutes (when there are two bigits) or seconds
(when there are three). Dates are likewise numbers, but written to a
so-called "compound base"; that is, one that varies from bigit to bigit.

Ya got me. The official parser does not.
