Hi,
Am I wrong to say that the 'misfeature' mentioned below hasn't made it into a feature yet in the latest release 7.0 b4?
Is there any plan to still add it in time for 7.0 final?
I've written defadvice for every numeric Jess-function (+, -, *, /, <, <=, >, >=, =, <>, min, max, div, ...) to support BigDecimals only to discover that they don't support nesting.
The only solution I see for now is to convert them into deffunctions, and go through all my rules one by one to change the function call.
Regards,
Ivan Op de Beeck

Thanks for the report. This isn't a bug, really, but a misfeature:
advice is deliberately turned off during the execution of the advice
itself, so that if advice calls the adviced function, you don't get
infinite recursion. But this kind of explicit nested call *should* be
adviced, so I think a change is in order.
