I've moved this to dev from a private discussion with Doug, who has just
tried the nightly build.
On 11/18/2011 11:43 AM, Williams, Doug wrote:
2) The plot/utils has nan? and infinite?, which are also exported from
the science collection and I had to explicitly exclude them in the
require. Can we talk to the powers that be and see about getting them
(and finite?) moved to racket/math? Then we can both remove them from
our code. [I'm not sure about any interaction with the r6rs functions.]
Powers That Be, Doug and I would like `nan?' and `infinite?' to be in
`racket/math'.
I made an exact equivalent of Doug's `finite?', but called it
`regular-real?'. I use it in all kinds of function contracts (it returns
#f for non-reals). We would also like that one, with either name, in
`racket/math'.
That Doug and I both came up with identically behaving functions
independently, for our own use, has got to say something about their
utility.
I'll happily code and test them.
