During translation our commonString handling will "common-force" all
instances of either Integer e. g. like 2, or String like "2" to all String
or all Integer, depending on which one of them had appeared first.
This can have quitre some effect as seen in below example.
The first one (where all 2s are interpreted as '2') is three times slower
than the second one, where the 2's are all interpreted a 2 integers.
~~~
rexx -e "a = '2'; call time 'r'; do 1e6; n = 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2; end; say
time('e')"
rexx -e "a = 2; call time 'r'; do 1e6; n = 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2; end; say
time('e')"
~~~
There may be a few ways to fix . any suggestions for the best way?
