It would be nice to have. Are there any other procedures that are not supported by numbers egg? BTW, I felt the use of numbers egg made the execution slow, even if it's just a fixnum calculation. Is is an expected feature? Following is a small test in chicken 2.2, but I'm not sure if it is correct to measure the performance. % csi -eval '(print (cpu-time))(let loop ([i 0]) (or (> i (expt 2 17)) (loop (+ i 1))))(print (cpu-time))' 1 142 % csi -eval '(use numbers)(print (cpu-time))(let loop ([i 0]) (or (> i (expt 2 17)) (loop (+ i 1))))(print (cpu-time))' 1 1289 Daishi _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
