Peter,>
I agree with you on the BigDecimals. Get it working with the right functionality, and refactor the implementation later.
What do we need to do with the numerics patch to have it be "good enough" to submit officially for CVS access? It'd be nice if the addition was comprehensive enough that it could be immediately used without a lot of caveats.
I suggest -- basic arithmetic & logic (done) -- TemplateNumber (done) -- Comparable (probably not hard) -- decimal literals
Anything else? When this is ready I suggest we officially request Geir to
I would add:
- complete documentation about the new number-behavior - what about a DIV operator which is generally useful and good for BC.
patch the CVS so a wider audience can play with this. I know we're all waiting to see what happens then. :-)
I'll try to find some time tomorrow and on the weekend to focus on the Comparable, decimal literals and DIV operator. It should be not that hard at all. I'd say that decimal literals are represented by a Double-Object. Any objections?
If anybody else is working on something please let me know!
Peter
