I would be happy to have this in the core; I have used it. A few comments: 1. There is a minor typo in the source: should be "denominator.” 2. The comments say integers are converted to exact and floating point to inexact, but the code will convert 1.0 to exact. > Would it work to use the parser from (language ecmascript parse), > possibly restricting it?
