Has anyone considered implementing floating point values with e.g. 60
bits that could fit into an SCM object? They would be more efficient

Hi Tommi,
I haven't seen it discussed and don't rule out that it could have some

Personally, though, my hopes are that eventually most actual computation in
Guile code would be done unboxed---which is a compilation proble
