The inflect library does support production of ordinals for non-integer numbers currently, so for refactor-safety, that'd seem worthwhile to add coverage for.
However, at the same time: it seems unclear to me whether ordinals make sense for non-integers. So the test coverage is marked as xfail using pytest (it currently passes and produces an xpass result. it would not fail the build but would still be noticeable in report output if the test began to fail).
Follows-on from some code inspection in #174 (and this related discussion).
