The original code evaluates `9.223372036854776E18 == (double)(long)9.223372036854776E18` as true, leading to the long representation returned.

Note that the check should be inclusive, as during the comparison, `Long.MAX_VALUE` is promoted to _9.223372036854776E18_. Thus _9.223372036854775E18_ correctly compares as false, and all doubles above compare as true.

Looks good. I think the tests can move to more generic NumberFormat regression tests, such as NumberRegression.java, as LenientParseTest sounds dedicated to `lenient parsing`.
