Ah, I see:
dummy1 = RealField(8)(0.1);dummy1
0.10
dummy2 = RealField(16)(0.1);dummy2
0.1000
latex(x*dummy1)
{0.1001 x}
latex(x*dummy2)
{0.1 x}
This is not quite what one would expect. However, the behaviour before
the fix was not much better in my opinion, as the precision was not
obvious from the latex output, either:
sage: dummy1 = RealField(8)(0.1);dummy1
0.10
sage: dummy2 = RealField(16)(0.1);dummy2
0.1000
sage: latex(x*dummy1)
{0.100100000000000 x}
sage: latex(x*dummy2)
{0.100000000000000 x}
Obviously, the fix does not fix all the problems, but it does make
latex output much more useful. Would you agree?
