My proposal doesn't disturb that, and I don't want to interfere that. I want to allow anyone to create original "integral" numbers which can behave alike Fixnum and Bignum. Unfortunately, to_int is currently used for converting to an Integer from a non-integral, inexact number like a Float. -- Kenta Murata Sent with Sparrow (http://www.sparrowmailapp.com)
