And if you are going to have Rational support BigInt, you are most likely going to need BigFloat, which is something we don't have. I personally do not like BigInt because it is incomplete, and because it is reinventing the wheel. I much rather see Phobos provide an interface to GMP, MPFR, or some other arbitrary precision arithmetic library, similar to what you see with Haskell and Python. Arlen
