This nicely summarizes my thoughts. The other parts of Rich's notes seem very elegant, but I can see lack of promotion leading to problem in my own code. Some external input causing an intermediate result to overflow would certainly happen. Probably at the least convenient time possible. (Have we discarded the concept of a set of non-promoting math functions that are only used during optimization? prim-+ prim-/ etc.) Cheers, Chris Dean -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
