I wouldn't call it a propert to avoid confusion with PicoLisp `prop'erties. I couldn't find `allbase'. I had [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_data_type][Algebraic DataTypes]] in mind, just like fractions. (= (Float B S E) (* S (** B E)) ) ``(314 E -2)'' looks like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation][Scientific notation]]. And wouldn't cause an error in PicoLisp. Current implementation of PicoLisp numbers is also a linked list: [path "@doc64/structures"]. Too bad they can not be manipulated like any other list. Base is (** 2 64). [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quote_notation][Quote notation]]: If we allow circular reference in the `Num' structure it will result in a subset of rational numbers. Arithmetic Shift, `AS', will give the rest. ``I mean, how hard could it be? '' -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
