That's reasonable: in fact, SCM doesn't support exact/exact complex numbers either, which is perfectly fine. It just means that no general complex number can be real. The rationale here is that a number with imaginary part 0.0 isn't necessarily on the real line, since 0.0 just means a number x such that 0 < x < the smallest representable inexact number. -- John Cowan [email protected] http://ccil.org/~cowan If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants. --Isaac Newton _______________________________________________ Scheme-reports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.scheme-reports.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scheme-reports
