siunitx: literal period within a cell

Today I started practicing with siunitx. It is a bit fun, but I arrive at some troubles.

I have a stats table where I want to have a literal period, meaning no estimate was obtained, in some cells. I also have some cells where the numbers might be wrapped in parentheses and a few where they have asterixes. I've solved those problems, so the mre below does not emphasize them.

It is not allowed to have a cell with "." by itself. I get the "invalid-value" error from siunitx.

One workaround is to wrap the period in a multicolumn, that does not give the error. But the output is not quite right either

documentclass[11pt,letterpaper,english]extarticle
usepackagelmodern
renewcommandsfdefaultlmss
renewcommandttdefaultlmtt

usepackagesiunitx
sisetup
 input-symbols = ()*,
 group-minimum-digits = 9


begindocument
begintabular
 l
 S[table-format=1.3, table-align-text-post=false]
 S[table-format=1.3, table-align-text-post=false]

hline
hello &1.333 &33.222tabularnewline
goodbye &44.1 & multicolumn1c. tabularnewline
hline
endtabular

enddocument

But, as you expect, the period is not aligned.

I don't have a strong reason to require them to be aligned, but it would be fun if I could do it :)

You could use a phantom.

By the way, you declared table-format=1.3 but your numbers have 2 integer positions, I corrected in table-format=2.3, otherwise you have an Overfull hbox warning.
