All arithmetic operations should work with the extended number types. Operations that involve indices (vector-ref, etc...) still want fixnums, but that's acceptable according to R5RS. > > BTW, I felt the use of numbers egg made the execution slow, > even if it's just a fixnum calculation.

The base system only has two numeric types, which makes a type-check quite fast. The numbers egg has to check for more possible types (and all these tests are implemented in Scheme). cheers, felix _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
