There would be zero reason to explain 1.0 vs 1.00, 1.0e2 vs 1.0e+2,
and 0xabc vs 0xABC vs 0Xabc vs 0XABC too.
And I thought there isn't ^^= yet just because Don's patch was only a
proof-of-concept thing. (Currently 3*4^^2 doesn't event produce the
expected result.) ^^= will be in, but that's irrelevant.
Not so. My patch included ^^=, but Walter stripped it out because he
wasn't convinced there were enough use cases for it.
Ah, I see.
