Hello;
If space and time are the only effects, and given the sheer amount of
computing power available on the meagrest of machines, I say that there
is not much of an issue.
Use of the previously suggested 'antibase' which uses adverse seems
elegant enough.

Using _ as a date or day number forces the entire
argument or result array from integer to floating point.
Some consequences:
- doubles the space consumption
- comparisons take longer
- important computations such as i. and e. take longer

It used to be elegant. It is no more.
Anssi is right to value elegance.
