I was looking way back into the past at "Numeric literals, take 1" http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl6.documentation/2002/11/msg205.h tml and wondering how much of that is should be in S02. For comparisons, how are we going to use Inf and NaN? Are those going to be special flyweight objects, so: $x = 1 / 0; $x == Inf; # is it the same value $x === Inf; # it is always the same object
