Yes. > 3) Should R7RS-large require support for exact complex numbers? No. But I would change this to yes if support for big floats (& big complex nums), with settable precision was added. [Macsyma has had big floats since 1975 I think. A few Commmon Lisp implementations also support them] > 4) Should R7RS-large require inexact complex numbers, to consist of > pairs of 64-bit IEEE binary floats?
