Do any of the proposals on the table affect floating point math? Currently, it seems mildly inconsistent to me that Clojure's numeric operations are auto-promoting and arbitrary-precision for integers but not for floats unless you specifically request it with the M suffix. This probably matters only to people doing scientific computing, but it's something to think about.
To illustrate with a question: If we were to make "fast" the default and "correct" something you opt into with the primed operators and (num <some number>), then does the question arise whether BigDecimals (as opposed to doubles) are returned from (num <some float>) and (*' <float> <float>)? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
