That's the reason I wrote the Number-Handling-Patch and
even improved
it (or better fixed it since I forgot something :).
Is this in an issue somewhere?  If not please make it so.
Can you set the milestone to 1.4?  Geir, was this approved
for inclusion?  What further revision does it need?
No, it is no issue nowhere. I could add it (waiting for the reactions).
The code runs 100% ok (as far as I tested it), UnitTests are included
in the patch. What could / should be done is performance-improvements.
Until now every Number-Operation is done using BigDecimal / BigInteger
since that made the patch very simple and correct (handling with 
overflows
and precision changes) and I just wanted to start the development on 
that
point (number-support). The improvements are quite easy to do, though.
The last thing I heard from Geir (who actually encouraged me to provide
the patch) that he wants to include full number support. But I guess I
might trust my memory these days :)



I have another note in the queue - I'm sitting here in Heathrow waiting 
for another plane, so this won't get out until later, but I think we 
shouldn't throw in 1.4, but rather put in 1.5, because 1.4 has a nice 
introspector change, among other things, and should go out.
