Could I please see an example? This is a real question, by now I ran my 
prototyped interpreter through quite some libraries, and none made problems 
like this.

Real world examples I am talking about. Sure, I can easily code an 
approximation for pi which goes out of hand quickly, but doing this in Python 
would be just wrong unless you are writing a text book.

Cheers

Martin
