> bignum is integers, Hal needs floats. Actually, I don't "need" floats. That's just what the python date/time stuff uses.
The original goal that started this discussion was to remove one slot from the python-c interface so I could remove some code ugly from the c side. That slot just prints out a l_fp. The assumption was that it was easy to do time (as floats) to text in python. Then we got into an discussion of how to get a few more bits. Interesting, but not important for this particular problem. We can easily split the l_fp into integer and fraction, convert the integer part into a float for the date/time stuff, then process the fractional part. -- These are my opinions.
