Severity : wishlist Occasionally it is handy to use a radix point in bases other than decimal. i.e. 1.1 in binary is 1.5 decimal.
In Guile (stable-2.0), at the moment, this gives an error. scheme@(guile-user)> #b1.1 While reading expression: ERROR: In procedure scm_lreadr: #<unknown port>:1:6: unknown # object We already support this in the output of string->number scheme@(guile-user)> (number->string 1.5 2) $1 = "1.1" Obviously this is not required by either the R5RS (and presumably the R7RS) or the R6RS, which special case the point for decimals only, however, Racket does let you do this. -- Ian Price -- shift-reset.com "Programming is like pinball.
