Jon, I like all of your stated ideas in general. I also don't care about the postfix %; that was just a concept example pulled from the inexact comparison thread. The idea of using zero is also appropriate conceptually with shades of how calculus works. I actually prefer the existing Range

Under the section about twigils in S02, $=var is described as a pod variable. I'm not finding any other references to pod variables; what are tey, and how are they used? (In particular, I'm wondering if they're a fossil; if they aren't, I'd expect further information about them to be in S26.)
