Jeanne:
What are the conditions in which the default case would be invoked here?
That is, would there be an circumstance under which both "x >= 0.235" and
"x < 0.235" would test out as being false? This gets into when variables
are interpreted as being numbers and thus subject to comparison with other
numbers, I suppose.
