Would some good soul please explain what

        Number readFrom: '7r6.5'

that someone confirms or rejects (bug | feature).

Thank you.

Because in the expression

7r65 * 0.1

the first value is in base 7 whereas the second is in base 10

7r65 * 7r0.1 IS the same valus as 7r6.5.

Ah! This equation cut my knot, thank you Ken.
