The possibility of a forum dealing with the extended variations would
be useful in that the present forum would then deal with more realistic
problems rather than the more esoteric ones. We don't need to slow
down operations, useful to all, to satisfy the needs of a few.
Any digital expression is limited by machine word limits and data
limits. Machine limits exceed data limits in most cases- -useful where
multiple operations result in digital fuzz that is insignificant
relative to real data fuzz.

I think this proposal would require, at minimum, a rewrite of ve.c
Also, each primitive which takes numeric arguments and/or produces a
numeric result would need a test to make sure it behaved properly for
each different mode of number handling.
Want to take a crack at it?
Thanks,
