Why is 'std.' more redundant than Java's 'java.'? -Lars

Hello Don, Paul D. Anderson wrote: I've been working on an arbitrary-precision floating-point module for a while and have uploaded the source to DSource. (www.dsource.org/projects/decimal) It's an implementation of the General Decimal Arithmetic Specification, Version 1.70, March 2009. (www.speleotrove.com/decimal). It contains most of the specified arithmetic operations (except exponential and logarithmic operations) and miscellaneous operations (except for logical and rotate/shift operations). I would appreciate feedback, especially with regard to the implementation of the context for the operations. The current implementation compiles with D version 2.30, so does not incorporate the new operator overloading. Paul Awesome! Hmm, I really need to get my BigInt modules into D2 so that you can use them. Ditto my united type: http://www.dsource.org/projects/scrapple/browser/trunk/units/si2.d (I'll tweak it and/or the license as needed to get it in). Maybe we need a std.arithmetic.* for all the a little more than just a number types. -- ... IXOYE
