The obvious (default) choice for a step size would be the precision of the more precise of the two values. So 0.0001 in your example above. If they were specified in hex float syntax, such as 0x1.01P0 .. 0x3.123P0, then the (default) step should be 0x0.001P0 (which is the same as saying 1.00390625 .. 3.071044921875 with a step size of 0.000244140625). Michael> Complex .. Complex -> undef, exception or some other bad thing. Complex .. Complex should have a defined meaning in p6. A definition which is easy to compute would be the set of points contained by the square which has opposite corners at the two specified points. A better definition would be the set of points contained by the circle which has a diameter running between the two points. In both cases, of course, including the points actually on the 1-manifold. Either choice has the same meaning on the real axis as .. generates when given real args, and is useful for interval arithmetic. Something for which p6 is well suited. -JimC -- James Cloos <cl...@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
