Especially because it isn't that obvious to get right when you don't realise
what's missing. For example, the majority of number parsing does allow a plus
sign, but from_chars doesn't accept that. We don't want inconsistency between
uses because some people forgot about it. Likewise, space-padded numbers are
common, and skipping whitespace is a common feature too.
