The idea is to implement decimal (and rational, and complex, etc. etc.) via value proxies, not via built-in additions to the standard. I.e., "library code". Thus there would be no difference between "decimal proxies" and "decimal primitives". /be _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
