It is nearly universal.

This will strip all '0's, not just those that the end.

I think the chance of anyone using a number char as the decimal separator
is almost 0.  If it were me, I'd just check at the beginning of the
function and if this strange event is true, then I'd just leave the
string alone, after all, the string basically makes no sense!
