Turn off parse-numbers for individual entries in a \numlist command (Feature Request)

[ihesham]

I am using \numlist from the siunitx package to type a long list of numbers. I would like to turn off parse-numbers for some individual entries so that a different number format would be allowed for these entries among the rest of the list entries that normally follow the default (or square brackets declared formats)
For example rendering an individual entry list of 1. to being printed as 1. rather than 1.0 by default. (A more detailed example of difficulty was posted in TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange)

The feature that I request if possible is to allow individual brace protected entries in \numlist to skip being parsed, so that turning off parse-numbers for individual entries would become possible.

Thanks for your attention.

This sounds like a recipe for inconsistent appearance ... can you explain why it's needed?

In particular, I'd say the semantics of \numlist are that the entries are subject to the same formatting settings.

Yes I can. I am preparing some notes for students about significant figures for which I am trying to explain that for example a list of all these numbers have four significant figures 100.0, 1.000, 1.000\times 10^10, 1000., etc. As you can see, the last number 1000. with 3 trailing zeros should be followed by a point to have a 4 significant figures. Typing it as it is in the \numlist entries renders it parsed to 1000.0 format which totally changes its significant figures into 5. Otherwise dropping the point would change it to 1000 which only has 1 significant figure.
