Unfortunately, there's no real way around it.  One can add numbers as a
hard dependency to scsh-process, but if you follow that logic, you would
end up having to add it as a dependency to EVERY EGG EVER.

This is the disadvantage of having extended numbers bolted on, and the
main reason I wanted them in core.

[Chicken-users] Using numbers correctly. How?

2016-12-08 Thread Jörg F . Wittenberger

Hi all,

I'm trying to use scsh-process pass bignums arguments.

Unfortunately scsh-process's maybe->string does not recognize them as 
number?s and bails out.


I can work around this easily, just use ->string at the invocation point. 
I'd rather like to fix the root cause and not work around. But how?


Best
