1) Should R7RS-large require arbitrarily large (up to implementation restrictions like memory) exact integers?
No. 2) Should R7RS-large require support for exact rational numbers? No. 3) Should R7RS-large require support for exact complex numbers? No. This strikes me as ridiculous. (make-polar 1 1) -> 0.5403023058681398+0.8414709848078965i. 4) Should R7RS-large require inexact complex numbers, to consist of pairs of 64-bit IEEE binary floats? No. I've been using multiprecision reals and complex numbers in s7 since 2009 (via gmp, mpfr, and mpc) -- I don't know what format they use, but I certainly don't want to be limited to 64 bits. _______________________________________________ Scheme-reports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.scheme-reports.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scheme-reports
