But what's the justification for that? It *only* makes sense because
you used short decimal literals. If the example were:
let a = someComplicatedCalculation
b = otherComplicatedCalculation
c = thirdComplicatedCalculation
in [a, b .. c]
then it would be far less reasonable to expect the notation to fudge the
numbers in favor of obtaining short decimal representations, which is
essentially what you're asking for.
