Numeric, Fixnum, Float, Bignum, Complex, Rational, BigDecimal.... What a mess! And they are often incompatible and can't be safely interchanged! There MUST BE ONE SINGLE AND TRUE COMPLETE NUMERIC TYPE!!! namely, class ArbitraryPrecisionHyperComplexNumber ! P.S. just a joke, raised by Unicode debate :))) ------=_Part_122184_18060788.1150702802226--
