Yeah, that's the building block, but the point of discussion as I understood is that it's too cumbersome to go into each source and inserting exact->inexact around. Thus some argued for making coercion to bignums explicit. I argued for keeping exactness by default, and implementation may provide some option to switch otherwise (pragma, declare, or command-line switch). --shiro _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
