It extends to Gaussian integers (complex numbers whose real and imaginary parts are both integers), but there is no support for those in Scheme except as a subset of the general complex numbers. Writing a SRFI for Gaussian integers would be a Good Thing. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan [email protected] Clear? Huh! Why a four-year-old child could understand this report.
